Update. Screw fell out! All is good but if anyone is interested and has this loco - I was having derailment issues with the tratction tired wheels. Upon a closer look it was obvious the rubber band was to thick and lifting the flange high enough for frequent derails. I was able to sand down, with a dremal, the tire down to the height of the flange. Problem solved!!

I tried that once with BLI... did not end well for me.

Living the dream.
One good reason to get rid of traction tires. I had a side rod screw twist right off on a BLI J1. I ended up replacing all the traction tired driver's on all my steam. A few more ounces of lead and never looked back.
I hope you find the screw. Might be stuck to the magnet on the flywheel or motor.

This exploded diagram from HOSEEKER may help, showing how all the parts fit together and where the screws are bliparagon2882y6bpg1.jpg (1240×1605) (hoseeker.net) You can also try contacting their service department for advice
OH NO!
I hope someone can help.
Can anyone shed some light on separating the body and chassie of a B.L.I. 2-8-8-2 ? Was attempting a traction tire swap and the rod to wheel bolt dropped into the depths of hell.
