Hello,
This observation car arrived and I noticed that the rear coupler/arm looked a bit kattywampus as my grandfather used to say. As I was examining it, the whole assembly came off in my hands . All the parts are accounted for.
I figured that the couplers would unscrew and an easy repair to follow.
Nope. It appears that the shell must be removed to access removal of the truck assembly, but then again maybe not.
The two tiny screws that have to be removed to remove the shell have the Phillips heads stripped so that no flat blade/Phillips head that I have works.
I have drilled out larger screws/bolts but never anything this tiny.
If not for the need at some point to replace the light bulb, I would leave as is since I believe the observation car looks better w/o the rear coupler.
Any ideas?
