USA 44tonner--how to open it?

I got my repaired undecorated 44 tonner back from USA Trains. Now I need to get the shell off so I can paint it and install RC.

So how? There are to screws behind each truck, but I can’t figure out how to get the trucks off or the screws out. No screwdriver will fit. I got the cab off but the two hoods are a mystery

Never mind–got it

This might come in handy. I did this when I tore mine apart a few years ago… [url=

Thank you! That will be VERY useful!

You didn’t resort to explosives?

Can opener, the old-fashioned kind–I used up all the explosives putting a speaker in a Pacific

You knucklehead! You should have saved some for tenderizing steaks.
