Are you talking about the new Bachmann K4 4-6-2 Pacific?

To remove the locomotive shell, unscrew the two screws behind the trailing truck and free the pilot handrails from the boiler shell. Next, raise the cab end of the shell up until it clears the chassis and then slide the shell forward a bit to clear the headlight LED. The shell should lift right off at that point. To remove the tender shell, unscrew the two screws behind the forward truck. Next, lift up the front end of the shell and then wiggle loose the two plastic clips on the back end of the shell. The shell should then pop off.
