Bachmann 9F

[Tim Hale]

There is nothing like choosing a simple prototype for a first conversion, mine is a Bachmann 9F.

Unfortunately, although supposedly new from the dealer, there was no service sheet and apart from the screw under the pony truck, nothing else seems allow the rear of the body to separate from the chassis.

Anyone better versed in such things?

No service sheet listed.

Yes, I know hence the plea for help.......

Most of the recent Bachmann locos have a screw or two under the cab somewhere, you may have to remove the tender coupling first to find it. Or it may be hiding under the keeper plate.
I have never had my hands on a 9F, however, so that's about as far as my suggestions can go.

Keith,

Yes, I tried and failed to find anything under the cab.

I would email Bachmann's service department, they were very helpful recently when I wanted some spare footplate castings for a N to replace some deformed ones.
