Can the Bach Man reply to this?  I recently bought a new engine and tender, 4-6-0, with sound on board. After setting up the engine on my track, the windows in the cab are popping out and falling into the cab. I got them out but cannot hold them in place to re-glue them back. I can't maneuver them into where they should be.  Is there any way I can take the cab body off to fix this. I undid the 4 screws at the bottom, but it is attached by wires on the outside and won't separate.

Dear EB,
I'll take a look at a ten wheeler tomorrow.
Thanks!

It's been a while since I worked on my "Bumblebee", but I seem to recall you pull the bottom of the front handrails out to seperate them from the loco. Remove screws on the bottom to loosen the body from the chassis, then slide it forward a bit and work the cab and boiler off the chassis as a unit. Once off, I believe there is a tab or two holding the cab to the boiler. But you should be able to access the windows without taking it apart that far.

If at first you don't succeed, throw it in the spare parts box.
