Bachmann Class 70 Body Removal

This has come up a few times as a question so I thought I'd explain the method I use. The screws to remove the body are fairly well hidden, deep beneath the bogies, so it makes it harder to remove the body than with some other locos. Firstly I remove the bogie frames, these clip on so I just use a pair of tweezers and lever gently against the wheels to undo the clip.

With this removed the screws are easily accessible and visible.

A magnetic screwdriver makes the job easier, particularly when putting the screws back in. We have a suitable screwdriver available here.

There are 4 screws to remove, 2 under each bogie.
