so the way I solved this is that I made a lift off bracket.
The bracket is a 1x3 x (as long as your consist.) I added transverse dowels spaced along the length of the 1x3 between where the Acella wheels are located. Added a foam cushion to the 1x3 side between the dowels. Finally added two drawer handles on the opposite side of the1x3.
Inserting the bracket dowels into the consist under each car; lift up and tilt back.
I have one of these brackets ( shorter) for my ABA E8s, too.
