Thanks for the replies.
All wheels have been removed along with what appears to be the bottom cover plate.
The rear screw holding the motor and gear assembly has been removed, leaving only the front screw.
I will check out the recommended web site for drawings to see if I can reassemble or at least determine if all of the pieces are there.
If I were to use the tender for pick-up, finding small connectors to install between the locomotive and tender could be interesting.
I am a member of Lake County Model Railroad Club in Wauconda, Illinois. I bought a Thomas the Tank engine and installed an N gauge decoder. We have open houses twice a year so the kids should enjoy seeing Thomas running on the layout. That was a fairly small decoder. I would be concerned with installing a Z gauge decoder.
Thanks again for the advice.
