Hi all
I recently purchased a Bachmann Spectrum 2-6-6-2 and I noticed that my front set of wheels need a bit more weight. Oh, it climbs fine, but you can see the boiler rising up and the wheels sometimes actually break contact with the rail.
I have some weight ready to go, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to open this bad boy. I have the explosion right here next to me even now, and I cannot see where I need to start to get into the boiler.
If anyone has this engine and has a tip or trick, let me know! I love how this guy pulls, but can't help but think that it would be even better with just a skosh.
Thanks,
George
