Bachmann C40-8 (D8 40-C) Issues

I recently picked up a Bachmann Split Chassis Dash 8 40C, It looks great, but it’s dead. looks like the chassis might be colliding, however, I’m planning a DCC install. Any advice?

Hi there. What do you mean by a colliding chassis? Is there a short? Is it crooked? For sure, the loco would need to be 100% in DC before a DCC conversion.

I did a search and there are few youtubes about that loco - If I were you, I would look at these and see what others have done.

I think there’s a short where the 2 chassis make contact and short out
