Does anyone have the info on how to remove the shell from a BLI NW2? I have intermittent stalling problems with mine, it will stall and then sometimes resume on its own or do so with a general nudge or press on the shell. I’ve taken the trucks Apart and cleaned them and inspected the contacts but suspect some loose contact under the shell but have not discerned how to remove it. Any hints?
There are three small screws that hold the shell to the sill section accessed from the underside. Two at the front corners and one in the rear just ahead of the coupler screw. Remove these and the shell just lifts off.
This may give you additional insight to your issue once you get the shell off as suggested by J Starbuck. http://www.spookshow.net/loco/blinw2.html
Thanks for the link. I removed the trucks, cleaned the contact strips and hit the trucks with Contact cleaner and it runs much better now.
