I recently purchased a Brawa 0895 Santa Fe Locomotive but when testing it, I found out that the rear drive shaft has come out of its gear housing.
I have looked through the manual but there is no indication as to how you can remove the shell so I can make repair. The shell is plastic so I do not want to use force and I don't see any screws you can remove from the locomotive.
If anyone has experience with Brawa trains and can help, I would appreciate it.

Maybe you shall bend outside in both side of the shell body upward?
Just like Roco with the plastic body. |

Sorry don't have that loco. My Brawas have screws underneath which will remove the body. If stuck email Brawa who are good at helping if sometimes a bit slow to reply. |
Take care I like Marklin and will defend the worlds greatest model rail manufacturer. |

AFIK forum member Alberto Pedrini is owning one of these locos. You could send him a PM. Then, this loco was actually manufactured by the US company Lifelike (which could still mean made in China...) for Brawa. Thus, you might find the manual or a data sheet by searching US sources for H0 scale “Lifelike Proto” products. I do own other Lifelike Proto 2000 diesels, but not the Alco DL-109. My EMD Geep shells are held in place with screws hidden under the fuel tank while my EMD E-Type shell is removed by carefully prying it open. In other words, there is no general rule. In principle all locos were delivered with a manual in the box... |

I don't usually buy Brawa but this Loco looks so nice.

After re-reading your initial request, I realise that you do have the manual. Anyway, one of my posts from the past contains a pictured description on how to open a Lifelike Proto 2000 EMD E-type (and I reckon that the same method applies to the Alco DL-109 by analogy) - see post no. 47. https://www.marklin-user...-and-Conversion-projectsP.S.: Many of those locos suffer from split cog wheels. Posts 55 and 57 to 61 in the very same are addressing this topic. |
