I've figured out how to make my Acela loco topless, thanks to Acelaman's website
http://community-2.webtv.net/AcelaTrain ... index.html

However, I'd like to lube it up and stuff. Since there's a big metal block in the way of the gears and motor, I see doing this as impossible. Does anyone know how to get to the gears and motor to lube them up? I wouldn't think that Bachmann made this impossible.
Thanks in advance,
Kevin
