American Flyer Atlantic tender issue
Posted by Flyer Bob on Thursday, July 16, 2015 1:09 PM

I have a late American Flyer Atlantic tender. It's the type with a plastic body held onto the chassis by metal tabs. Can anyone advise how to separate the body from the chassis without damaging the it?

You very carefully bend the tabs to the point where they will pass through the slots.  I say carefully because you can only do this a few times or risk the tabs breaking off entirely.

I have figured out what is wrong with my brain!  On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!
