HO steam loco usra 0-6-0 with smoke & sloped tender.
I want to add sound and keep alive to it. There is no way to tell how to take the engine apart except to break it at the front. I took out the two very tiny screws on each side, which broke right off at the cast frame without much pressure!! I unscrewed the back of the frame with no problem and it was lose from the plastic.
I really need to know how to take the engine apart without breaking it.
If you look very, very closely near the cylinder area where the two tiny screws are:
There are two metal pressure tabs. You can insert a small, flathead, jewelers screwdriver to spread the plastic away from the tabs. The tabs are part of the frame.
It is tight and a bit difficult. I felt like I was going to break the shell the first time I tried this.
Once you finally get the shell off, I recommend filing the tabs down just a bit. Makes future removal much easier.

Jonathan

Especially if you have access to a bigger hammer. ;)
