Bachmann On30 tank cars
Posted by fisker4jc on Sunday, November 15, 2020 7:32 PM

I want to decal a couple of painted but undecorated Bachmann On30 tank cars, but the ladders block the sides of the cars.  Is there a trick to taking the ladders off (without breaking them of course) or is it simply a matter of applying steady pressure against them?

I haven't had one of those in years, but aren't they screwed on?  I seem to remember that they were.

I looked at mine under magnification and the ladders appear to be glued in.  I also gently tugged at them and they were solidly attached.

I think you have to work around them or get new ladders.

Good luck
