Has anyone successfully removed the boiler shell from an HO Modern American 4-4-0? Thus far, I have removed the cab and the mounting screws hidden by it, the screw from under the cylinder cradle, the small wire pipes from the boiler to the tops of the cylinders, and the supports from the smoke box to the pilot. The front of the boiler shows some movement, but the rear portion is not coming free. The Bachmann Item No. is 83401. Any thoughts or insight into what I may be missing is greatly appreciated.

I finally figured out the problem. There were two small screws under the cab floor that I didn't see. They were obscured by some of the "piping". Once I removed them, I could "wiggle" the boiler shell up off the chassis/mechanism.
