Help Please,

I was hoping to take the locomotive apart in order to check the internal sound board by unscrewing the 8 deep recessed screws under the chasis, and I even undid the 4 screws from the cab and unscrewed the 2 coupling assemblies - I still can’t lift off the housing. Are there hidden tabs that hold the body to the chasis? I would appreciate anybodys help that would prevent me from damaging the model.

Regards Norbert

Norbert, did you remove the screws under the fuel tank?

Yes Jim,

Those are the one very deeply recessed - thanks for trying to help.

So if you have removed 12 long screws and 4 short screws, the shell should easily lift off. If you then want access to the cab, unhook the door springs and push on the 4 tabs holding the cab to the shell.
