HI Need your help. New 2-8-2 motor runs and wheels don"t turn. Suspect worn is spinning on motor shaft. How do i remove shell/boiler to get at it? Thanks Bob
Hi Bob, In case someone else doesn't respond, I will look for my take-down instructions from Athearn, tomorrow.
Bob, Just read further down on this page, of another person with what appears to be the same problem you have. Something is going on here. Possibly you should consider returning this to Athearn for repair.
Thanks for the help. Problem solved for the monemt. Dealer has offered replacement loco. Still would like to know how to remove shell in the future. Bob
