I've never had one, I'm into HO scale, but I thought if you haven't seen the diagrams yet, they might help you figure it out.
Bachmann is usually very good about answering questions, and their forum is a good place to get info.
Good luck, and happy New Year!

I have seen that, thank you! I was just wondering if it was a matter of popping out the covers hiding the screws, and removing the hex screw holding the counterweight to the driving rods.

Is this what you have?

Hi everyone,
I'm pretty sure my Bachmann K-27 comes with the counterweight issue (two of the 8 counterweights are a bit wobbly) and I need to replace them. I already ordered the counterweights from Bachmann, and was wondering how to cleanly remove the pre-existing ones to replace them. Thank you.
