Athearn Genesis GP15-1 - How to get the body off?
Posted: Thu Mar 07, 2013 10:07 pm
HI All
I've got a couple of Athearn Genesis GP15-1 locos, one with sound and one withiut, The one with sound is great, programmed straight away and in use. However the second one is a different matter. Being a DCC ready one I have to fit a decoder, easy enough I thought but I have not been able to get the body off. I found the instructions appear to omit a couple of scres by the trucks but even with those removed I have not managed to get the body off. This is partiucularly frustrating as I'd like to rn the locos as a pair on the Thamesiders layout at Ally Pally.
Rather then have at it in a ham fisted manner I hope you guys might be able to point out where I've gone wrong.
Cheers
