Hello,
I'm looking to add weights to the front of my HO scale Bachmann Spectrum K4 Pacific #1361, as the front of the engine seems to jump up whenever the driving wheels hit a switch frog. I've seen diagrams for an exploded view of the K4, and while I noticed that the smokebox door isn't molded to the boiler and can come off, I'm wondering what the best method of removing said door would be. I'm thinking either an X-Acto knife or a pair of needle-nosed pliers, but wanted to know what your thoughts are. Thank you very much.
