IHC GG-1 loco...

I've bought sometime ago a IHC GG-1 loco (Amtrak #930), but realize that, although it runs well, the body bent longitudinally to one side. In other words, it is not horizontally aligned with main truck frame. Don't know whether the problem can be solved but, if possible, I think that, first of all, body shell must be removed to check for the origin of it. How can I do that? Something to unscrew or not? Just pull it out?

I would appreciate your expertise on the whole stuff.

Thank you.

PS - I leave in Europe and no hobby shop sells IHC products around. I doubt that they even know the brand name. Otherwise, date for return the item to US dealer, where I bought it, is already passed.

Hold the locomotive upright over workbench and carefully pull outward at the center of the loco sidesand the frame should drop down and out.
