K-Line Blomberg Truck Assembly

Does anyone have an exploded diagram for the K-Line powered F40PH? It looks like the screw that holds the vertical can motor to truck bolster has fallen out causing the motor to float freely. How do you separate the bolster from the truck to I can replace the screw to the motor? I am guessing that the assembly is likely the same for all the vertical motor K-Line locomotives. I've taken apart MTH, Williams and Weaver diesels and they are all the same more or less. I'm not sure what is different for K-Line.

Thanks for any insight you might have!

hi, The ones I have had apart there is an access hole through the loco frame ahead of the motor,(small Phillips down through) and there is a Phillips screw by it's self from the bottom.(larger head)

I have had the motor screws back out( frame to motor)

Hope this helps.

I too found out the hard way with K-line's gp38. Not only do you have the big screw on the truck bottom to the motor but on the front of the motor there is a small screw that has to come off in order to detach the motor from the truck. To get to this small screw though you have to remove the body from the frame.

That does point me in the right direction. Do I need to remove all the electronics to get to this screw as well?

I'll take another look this evening after I'm done working.

Thanks for the insight!

no, you shouldn't have to remove everything.

and, this is a great time to lube your gears!
