I recently purchased an Atlas Trainman 2 rail RS-3 DC powered switcher. It seem's the more I run it, more grease work's it's way out of the truck block. While I have the trucks off for a clean out, I'd like to reroute the pick up wiring attached to the top of the truck. When they were assembled, the wire terminals were twisted badly causing the wires to chafe against the openings in the frame. I removed the motor mount screw from the bottom of the truck (like on an MTH engine) and thought this would release it. Guess again. Still rock solid, on both trucks.
Then I removed the 4 screws holding the bottom cover to the truck block and can't even get this off to see if there's a hidden screw somewhere else. The whole power truck assembly is mounted to the frame with 4 small screws, but the way the wiring is connected by the lighting board, removing these won't release the truck far enough to get at the screw heads holding the wires.
These pieces were assembled, so that mean's they can be dis-assembled! Anybody have any ideas? Also, I'd like to download a parts diagram of this particular engine, but seeing as it's Atlas's cheaper line, I don't think I'll see this happening. The Atlas website is of no help.
