Reply to "Removing shell of a VL GS-4"

Well, I only had mine (a GS5) apart for a short period in order to fix smoke unit connections that were reversed and the attached photo is one of two I took. I did not find the main board sloped as yours is, or any pinched/rubbing wires, but just discernible in the photo (lower right corner) is a screw near to where the boiler speaker screws are, which appears to fix the board to the chassis. Do you have a screw fixing there or is the screw missing? It appears to be on the opposite side of the board from the side your photo is taken.

I agree that the assembly quality of these is not what you'd expect from a VL model.

Hey Hancock,

I looked all around on the board and all screws were in place. I saw a community post on YouTube from Eric’s Trains, it was a picture of the GS-4 with its shell off. Eric’s board looks slanted as well. Perhaps the GS-4’s are designed with this type of slant? But upon further inspection of the photo the worm gear is much closer and looks normal compared to mine.

Thank you for taking the time to respond and help me figure out what’s going on with this train.
