I have an AtlasMaster DCC-equipped locomotive, and I believe (with the guidance of some people on the Electronics and DCC section of this forum, thanks guys!) that it has gotten some sort of metal particle in the motor. Should be easy to find and get rid of... if I can figure out how to get the shell off.
I have the blow-up diagram for it somewhere, I remember gathering up all my diagrams like it so I would have them in one safe place, but now (you guessed it!) I've forgotten where that place is...
I've checked the fuel tank for seams like my Atlas U23B, and I would try the Athearn style removal, but I'm worried about the many fine details nad breaking them off.
Does anyone happen to have a diagram they can scan in and post here for me? I don't want to proceed further without knowing what I'm supposed to be doing. If you could, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!

There's the one for the newer runs.
By the looks of it you have to remove the coupler box cover, then it looks like a matter of working it lose from the tabs.

That's the place where I got it from. Even covers the Roco GP40 I had and the Kato C425s I had.

Wants: 1. high-quality, sound equipped, SD40-2s, C636s, C30-7s, and F-units in BN. As for ones that don't cost an arm and a leg, that's out of the question....
2. An end to the limited-production and other crap that makes models harder to get and more expensive.
