BLI EMD shell removal
Posted by mkepler954 on Tuesday, February 16, 2021 8:10 PM

How do you remove the shell from an HO BLI SD40-2 loco?  I removed 4 small screws from the bottom but to no avail.  I tried to gently pry the shell from the body but that didn't work either.

Great video, Bear. I always assumed that you spoke with an accent. But, obviously, I was wrong. Interesting that you keep a pillow in the bear cave. Smile, Wink & Grin

On a more serious note, better to ask before starting to remove all kinds of screws on the bottom of the chassis.
