I'm sorry, Idahoan, I should have encluded the answer from Athearn. Here it
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
is: The screws that hold the shell in place are located under the Boiler half-top just in front of the cab (Part # 19) and under the Steam Dome cover that is in about the center of the boiler top (Part # 26). These parts are press fit so it simply a matter of popping them off. The tender has two screws on either side of the rear coupler box that have to be removed. To remove the screw that holds the tender body on from the top you first have to remove the box that immediately behind the coal/oil bunker. It is press fit on. Then you have to slide the coal/oil bunker back a little bit in order to release it and access the screw. Sincerely, Athearn Trains

You received an answer from Athearn as to how to remove the Lionel boiler and tender shells? Then maybe I should write Lionel. I am still trying to figure out how to remove the Athearn Challenger tender shell (haven't tried the boiler yet). How do you remove the coal load to get at the underlying screw? --- In QSIndustries@..., "Glen Duke" <Glen_Duke@1...> wrote: > I got a very nice answer from Athearn support regarding removing the shells. > > I did not include the last paragraph as it was an afterthought when > addressing this groupl > > Glen Duke > -----Original Message----- > From: Glen Duke [mailto:Glen_Duke@1...] > Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 2004 10:01 PM > To: QSIndustries > Subject: [QSIndustries] Has anyone... > > > Has anyone figured out to get the tender and boiler shells off of the > Lionel > Challenger? > > In spite of what the document says about figuring out by studying the > exploded diagrams, I cannot figure out how to dismantle either part. > > By the way, is the lack of a warranty card an anomaly or reflective of > Lionel's decision to get out of this part of the business? > > Thanks, > > Glen Duke Yahoo!
