Hi everyone, <br /> <br />I have just received a Alco PA-1 from USA trains. <br />It looks awesome, but it seems that the people at USA trains were a but cheap with the glue. Two of the windows were loose because they weren't glued properly. Because all windows are glued on the inside I had quite some problems getting them out of the train and putting them back with some glue. <br />I did all of this with a finger through the rear door.. I removed the rubber diaphragam at the rear of the train to get better access. <br /> <br />This worked, but replacing the rubber diaphragam without removing the body of the train seems impossible.. I think that the only way to get it right, will be by removing the body. <br /> <br />Has anyone done this, or can tell me what screws I should expect to loosen? <br />I already looked at the bottom, there are quite some screws, but it seems that I will also need to loosen the 'steps' + the connected detailing parts.. <br /> <br />I am a bit afraid loosining too much and having trouble getting everything assembled again. <br /> <br />When I succeed, I would also like to see if I can install a DCC decoder. <br /> <br />Thanks for any help or suggestions. <br /> <br />With kind regards, <br />David
