I recently purchased an Alco S2 Switcher in N scale made by Atlas. It was not DCC equipped so I purchased a decoder for it. The only problem is that for the life of me I can't figure out how to get the cab off! Maybe I just need to be a little more ham-fisted, but as much as that may work when fixing my Chevy Pickup, somehow I doubt it will help with anything made in N scale.
Can anybody give me a tip on this one?
Here are the diagrams and instructions for body removal for the HO scale version:

There doesn't seem to be one for the N scale locomotive.
Maybe it will help, maybe not.

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
Thanks Dave.
The instructions were not exact, but they were close enough. On the N scale,the cab and the hood are one piece. The tip on the HO instructions about using a hobby knife to lever the cab sides away from the tabs worked like a charm.
Decoder is installed and the switcher is operational.
Thanks alot.
