 John, here's the sheet for the later version with the round motor and all loco pickup, in case that's the one you have.

Oooooohhh.... *now* you tell me!!!

Actually, it is the one I have, but I was able to get it figured out from the other drawing. I just needed some clues where to look and what types of mechanisms they were using to hold it together. 

What I really could have used though was information about the tender-- I had a heckuva time figuring that one out. In the end I figured it out by accident-- I was pulling on the tender pin and it popped out and the whole thing came apart.

 Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.

Wants: 1. high-quality, sound equipped, SD40-2s, C636s, C30-7s, and F-units in BN. As for ones that don't cost an arm and a leg, that's out of the question....

2. An end to the limited-production and other crap that makes models harder to get and more expensive.

There should be a diagram on-line somewere.

On mine, there is a screw ahead of the smoke stack inside the rectangular feedwater heater. My engine is missing  a retangular cover for the feadwater heater. If yours has a cover, it should come off with gentle prying.
