How do I fix or replace the rear pick-up (front truck) which is not kept down in place by the brass strip? I have motor off but do not see how to access bottom of truck.

Fred,
This might help, from the parts list and exploded diagrams for the 8030-100 Motor Truck on your engine (6-8463):
You can find more details in Lionel's Service Document Supplements 1-9 (1970-1986). The above is the bottom of Page 15-32 in that document.

Mike, thank you very much. Yes, that should help. By the way, where do I find the Service Document supplements?

I was looking that up, probably while you were typing. Here's the link for that first supplement set (1 to 9):

Once the rollers are off, if you need to service the spring strip it raises in the center over that visible black plastic nub and slides out either way(one way will be easier based on the solder point and length of the wire).
