"Breaking" into a John Bull

[Flashwave]

I'm looking to get inside a Bachmann John Bull fo rmy Dad. Unfortunately, I have the engine, not the paperwork. But I can't ficure out how to pull the tender off the chassis. (Motor's in the tender) It needs to be cleaned, and if there's room, wire and stash a Z decoder somewhere, or maybe stick it under the boiler of the Bull or in a coach. I've tried flexing the sides, and the screw is out of the drawbar. it don't want to budge

well if it's like mine, you have to remove the bar holding the wheels. I forgot what it's called . the screw is between the wheels. i think you might want to ask

I am not sure and don't want to guide you to accidentally ruin  your Dad's loco. It's a beauty on the rails. So try some of these and hope this helps!
