How to remove the body shell on the N scale Class J 4-8-4

Happy New Year from South Australia.

I would like any assistance possible to explain the 'secret' of removing the body shell from the Chassis on the J Class Loco.  I have looked at the exploded parts diagram that was included in the box, but I must be missing an important step......or screw.....  ;-)

Thanks for any help to a new forum member,

Hi Rob56,

IIRC, on the Spectrum version, remove the two screws on bottom in the back corners. Rear of shell comes up then slightly forward to get off.
Be careful with the wires to the tender.

Good luck

Many thanks, thought it was like that but didn't want to force it too much.
Just took a bit more "jiggling"!
