Do yourself a favor and join the Bachmann forums. There are forums for different scales and Bachmann reps there also.

You can find CV list, product diagrams, etc.

decoder

Don't use a Bachmann decoder. Last I knew, they are low end Lenz decoders for non sound.

NCE sells the Bach-DSL non sound decoder with LED's to replace the onboard decoder. Designed by NCE specially for the Bachmann diesels.

If you want sound, the SoundTraxx website has a decoder and speaker suggestion.

Shell reemoval

On the bottom of the loco, see if you need to remove the couplers( the should be held on with a screw). If there is a screw or screws holding the fuel tank cover on remove those. There should be a screw on each side you need to remoce. The shell should then come off. You may have to wiggle it a bit.  Joe

The only ones I know of Rich that you have to remove the couplers are the SD's unless the older versions of GP's were different.

The fuel tank is indeed a lid for 2 screws hidden underneath.

Easy as pie when you know how!
