How to remove the cover: 1) remove the 4 screws at top. 2)Remove the orange horn knob by pulling up. 3) The lever handles, they are 3 stacked pieces, the first lever, a metal plate, and then the next level. remove those carefully, it sometimes gets stuck. Once you do that the bakelite cover should slide off. I dont know how to replace the power cord but I would assume you would get a good one and rewire exactly as the old one. IF the old one is gone then ask a professional. Hope that helps.
I have a Type V, but I have no idea how to use it. It turns on, the light is green, but were to hook the wires, I don't know. I tried a-u, but got nothing. The lower left larger knob turns just fine, but it's not seated.right. Very sloppy. Am I right in thinking I need something for the whistle? I have a 249E in EXCELLENT condition with Pre war Ives litho cars, and a 265w Tender.
