My old LGBs-How to open the tender?

Been snooping for articles. I have both the old LGB Moguls from the 1990’s. The blue C&S baloon stack and the dark one with the silver stack.

On the blue one, the motor gear may have gone bad, not sure how to fix this.

But just as important, the sound system aftermarket was installed in the tender. Is there a way to get the tender opened so I can check the old batteries in it? Thanks for any help guys.

It is not easy but the coal load can be removed.

Otherwise 4 screws on the bottom of the tender and then 2 screws under the coal load inside the opened tender top.
