[quote user="TA462"]The very first thing I learned at my train club was to always grab a diesel loco by the fuel tank.  I was picking up one of my loco's and one of the older members stopped me and told me a story very similar to yours.  Ever since then I grab em by the fuel tank.  [:D][/quote]That's how I ALWAYS pick up diesels! Mainly because there's no little details to break off down there, but also because I have an Atlas SDP35 that has a removable dynamic brake blister to access the DC/DCC switch. I've never dropped a loco before, luckily. (Although Guilford Guy is "leasing" me a Bachmann GE 70-tonner that the shell isn't fastined on, I picked it up once leaving the chassis on the track holding the shell! He got a laugh out of watching me......[swg])
