Here are some photos of the motor removal process. I m not a tech writer so it is rather crude, however it is more than can be found any where else
The first step is to remove the shell which there are instructions on line, be careful of the hand rails because you will break them otherwise.
After you remove the shell you have to remove the couplers and the clips that hold the trucks on. These are similar to most other locomotives. I removed the shafts and gears next because otherwise I would probably lose them. Next remove the walkway which comes off the top.
I then removed the printed circuit board Next step was to remove the side frame covers which hold the fuel tank in place, the just slide off the two tabs in the frame, then remove the 2 screws holding the motor and flywheels
