Installing Oil Tank in bunker on Bachmann HO 3 truck Shay

I was just checking out my new Shay which came today and noticed I have an oil tank to install in the bunker behind the cab. Could anyone tell me how to get it in that cavity?

I have been gently trying to get it in there but it gets hung up on the cab. Removed some metal flashing on the back of the tank but is still to tight. Have not found a screw on the frame below the bunker to loosen in order to get separation between the cab and the bunker.

Sure is a cool looking locomotive.

thanks

If you turn the shay over you will notice two screws under the bunker take these out and the bunker will come out and it is an easy install from there…

Thanks Tom. I found those little screws hidden under the truck. Once I got past that the tank installed easy, even got an engineer in the cab now.
