Why This Notice

John Buckley All Messages By This Member #76218 I am happy to see AZL release EMD SW1500 Switchers, but apparently it comes with this notice; "Note: AZL is advising customers not to attempt to remove the shells of the SW1500s. Doing so may result in damage to the locomotive’s shells." Anyone have any idea what the rest of the story is?? Hard to imagine running these or any other z locos for a long time without lifting the shell to clean the inevitable dust and grime that accumulates or replace worn parts. Are really not to ever see the chassis of these switchers? REF:?https://www.zgauge.com/Southern-Pacific-EMD-SW1500-2615-p/62701-1.htm ?
Robert Kluz All Messages By This Member #76220 开云体育 AZL posted the following on their forum. I can contest, it is VERY easy to damage the shells while attempted to do so. I did just that in my own testing: The SW1500 shell can be removed; however, it requires a very different technique than our previous products. Until we can create detailed instructions we are advising people: DO NOT attempt disassembly. We destroyed more than a few shells before we discovered the correct technique. We don’t want the same thing to happen to our valued customers. Rob Follow us on Facebook!? Ztrack Magazine Ltd.

John Buckley All Messages By This Member #76221 Ok, anxiously awaiting to hear what new, very different technique is?? ...and maybe a little background of what necessitated it?? Also, is this going to be the new norm for AZL shell/chassis connection?

Robert Kluz All Messages By This Member #76223 开云体育 This is a very different design and AZL definitely upped their details with this release. As of now, there are no DCC boards available for a sway. I am sure someone will come up with a design that works. Once we have instructions on how to safely remove the shell, we will post it.? Rob Follow us on Facebook!? Ztrack Magazine Ltd.
