Hi there Nathan!! <br /> <br />I have repainted so many Proto 2000 loco's in my time that I think I deserve a medal....Ha Ha! The good thing about the way they attach there detail parts is the fact that they don't glue them. By now you probably think I am a nut, but don't stop reading just yet! <br /> <br />I have removed grab irons, hand rails,exaust fans and everything else from GP30's to SD60's and have not found any of these items glue in yet. <br /> <br />What they do when they install a part(say a grab iron)is that they pu***he grab 'home' and from the inside of the shell they use a small soldering iron to fuse the grab iron plastic to the plastic shell. This is really good because if you want to remove them for any reason, then all you do is pu***hem out with a pin from the inside of the shell. This has alway's worked for me, so you should not have much trouble. If you do, just drop me a line! <br /> <br />See you later. <br /> <br />E-mail: <br />terrythomson2001@yahoo.com.au <br />
