Old rivets will have to be drilled out. This is a replacement tool set meant for rivetting parts for O/S gauge trains:

There are other ways to peen the repacement rivet. This is just easier/neater.
Hello folks
Im restoring a 1689e and i dont know how to replace the side rods. They appear to be riveted on. Do I just drill out the rivets? I have never used a rivet gun so any suggestions on how to use one to put the new ones on would be really appreciated.
Thanks for any assistance you may offer.
