How on earth do you remove the Proto GP-20 body shell?

I’ve examined the loco. I’ve examined the instructions. I don’t see any way to take the shell off the mechanism. The fuel tank doesn’t want to move either, which usually covers the screws that hold the shell on. Has anyone suceeded at this task!?

I have one. Take the couplers off, and then gently pry the shell off at the front and back. I havent had any luck doing it without the aid of leverage. By the way, there is nothing under the fuel tank.

The GP 38 has small screws under the trucks. I don’t know if the 20 is the same way.

My Gp 9’s are the same way.
