I recently pulled an On30 set out of storage from 4 or 5 yrs. I want to check lube before running 2-6-0 locomotive but cannot quite remember how to remove top shell.

I know to pull back on the plastic tab on the rear, and the top shell moves upward about 3/16" at the rear, but the front under the smoke stack isn't moving.  I did slide the two wires aside from the front platform to the body.

Can someone remind me is there a screw somewhere hidden that's holding things down.  I tried removing the bottom screw between the pistons but that didn't seem to have any effect.

Thanks for any help,  jtx

Harold's Pacific Coast Air Line Railway site is an incredible resource for On30 fans.  You can literally spend hours browsing through the various projects for tips and inspiration.  Enjoy!
