Proto 2000 Y3 question

[nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org]

Bob,

Pop the boiler shell and see if the clip on top of the gear tower is popped 
up, use a screwdriver or something that you can push on the top of the clip 
and snap it back. I had a couple do the same thing. I hope this is the quick 
fix for you as these locos are great runners.
