Problem with drive shaft on Intermountain GP-10
Posted by wolfman hal on Friday, October 6, 2023 11:11 AM

The Drive fell out of my Intermountain GP-10. They (Intermountain) do not have a manuel to take it apart that deep. Any sources to help.

Could you  define the problem as little better? Can you get ther shell off to access the drive train? Or can you do that and need help with repairing the drive?

Intermountain doesn't have a support page on their website, but they do have an email: intermountain@intermountain-railway.com

Most of us are confused.  Locos have underside details or at least a fuel tank.  There is nowhere for the motor to fall out.  Did one of the trucks fall out?

Removing couplers is generally a minimum to remove the shell.  Some locos have screws close to the trucks that also need removal.

I lied, I looked at the loco and not the homepage.

These are the directions to remove the shell.
