Rayman4449 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I normally lift the engine with one hand from under the front of the boiler and the other inside the cab. Alternately I will sometimes use one hand in the cab and rock the engine to one side and lift from the middle providing some support for front engine set.

Jerry B44 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I built a carrier for the engine. Just 1/4" ply with some strips the right size to raise it off the rails. I changed it to velcro strips. Push it about halfway on the track, then lift the cab and remove the carrier. I did one for my Challenger also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
