Please provide some guidance on what you did to pull the shell and remove the trucks. I'm staring at a pair of Atlas Susquehanna Dash8s with the same problem. I know they did run in the past, as I'm the original owner.
Thank you!

6 screws release the shell. 2 front, 2 back, 2 more in front of the fuel tank.
Remove handrail ends from cab.
The battery boxes do not come off with the shell, but the cab is tabbed into the top of them so you need to pop it loose.
Trucks release from the frame with 4 screws, don’t lose the plastic washers under the screw heads. You’ll need to unscrew the pickup roller wire and the big screw on the bottom of the truck to release the motor and clean out the truck block. 4 screws release each axle plate as well, as those also should be cleaned. Note the flat side of the bearings on the axles and the worm gear shaft, and orient it correctly to reassemble.
