Spectrum Tender Disassembly

[strummer]

I'd like to know how to take apart a Spectrum USRA Medium and/or Small tender. There does not seem to be any visible way to do so; (at least the Large tender has screws on the bottom that appear to hold the unit together.)

Any advise?

just looking at the parts description page it appears the truck screws mount into the shell. I do not model N but that is a good place to start. There may be screws under the trucks also.

USRA Short - Shell just lifts off. Sometimes needs a little prying



USRA Medium - There are 3 versions.

The original that came with the Spectrum 2-8-0 are just plain a P.I.T.A. The top of the tender lifts out of the the sides and floor. It is held in with the truck screws.

The Spectrum tenders available individually. The shell lifts off.



The new DCC included tender on the 2-8-0 and 4-6-0. Similar to above.
