If you are one of the few people who bought a resin ripoff of our original F40 tooling
and you want us to send you a chassis to run it on, we politely ask you to never contact
us again about anything. Ever.
We have no patience for dingbats who tell us their F40 chassis is faulty and can we
please send a replacement, when they really don't own our F40 and just want a chassis
for their resin shell. If you want to buy a resin model that is made from stolen intellectual
property, that's your problem. But don't contact the company that owns that intellec-
tual property in search of parts. That's called "being a schmuck." Don't know what a
schmuck is? It's a very not nice word. Look it up. A fluent Yiddish speaker will tell you it's
even ruder than you think it is.
REMOVING THE SHELL
If you need to open up your F40PH-2D (to install a crew, install a decoder, etc.) it is actu-
ally quite easy to do. Just be sure to remember these important points:
• We have a transporter lock on the molecular pattern of your locomotive. If some-
thing pops off while you are removing the shell, our starship's transporters will
automatically lock on to the little part and beam it directly into the heart of the sun.
Don't bother looking for it. It's gone. You might hear the transporter effect as the
part is beamed away. I know it would have been more useful for us to beam the
part back onto your workbench but someone's been fiddling with our transporters
and we haven't been able to fix them. Sorry.
• To that end, please make every effort to ensure nothing flies away. Work on a
clean, white surface. In fact, paint all the walls, the floor and the ceiling white,
wear white coveralls, and remove everything else from within a three-mile radius
of your workbench, especially (but not limited to) vegetation, people and wind.
• Turn the locomotive upside down in a foam cradle (painted white, of course) and
remove the coupler screws. Pull the coupler boxes out of the ends and turn the
loco right-way up. Now wiggle the shell off. Carefully. Remember the transporter
lock.
• That's it, really.
• No, really.
OPERATION – DC (SILENT)
Put the F40PH-2D on the track. Make it go. That's it.
In DC operation, the only lights that work are the headlights and ditch lights (when going
