How Do You Remove the Cab From Heartland Sparky & Mighty Mack?

I'd like to tweak a Mack into an end cab, but need to know how to release the cab portion of the body. Thanks!

Rich,

Take a look at this thread http://www.trains.com/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=29861 That thread may help you on what you need to do to get the Mack apart.

Thank you, Jack. I did a little more digging, found the article, and am in the process of studying it for my next try. Have a good weekend.

Beeee veeeeeeery carefuuuuuull if you try prying up the tab that holds the motor block on. If its just the cab, then those two screws on the underside are all thats needed to lift the cab off and the end hoods come off after that.

Great little engine!
