If you are skillful, you can use two jeweler's screwdrivers to do two tabs on the same end at the same time. A club member had the same problem with his Atlas Trainmasters.

Modular railroading at its best!
If it has an X in it, it sucks! And yes, I just had my modeler's license renewed last week!

[?] Guys:
What is the proper way to remove the shell on the new Atlas dash 8-40-C locomotives, The paper work doesn"t explain the disassembly procedure, and I don"t want to risk breaking something until I know the proper disassembly technique, Many thanks in advance for the help, take care.
