FM h 16 44 question

[RGW]

 I just order a shell from Bachmann for this engine and  plan to strip and repaint this  shell ( bought a lot of chassis but no shells) Are the hand rails friction fit or are the glued on?
I need to remove them to paint the shell up in Milwaukee road colors.

 Thanks.    I had already checked the explode view. It shows the hand rail as separate parts. Sometimes these things will come right off and others times they will break,I have not painted up any newer Bachmann shells and am wondering what others had experienced with these?

The FM H 15 44 has the hand rail glued in place.
