Thanks Bill
I took my loco to my club the day I got it. Between all of us we could not work out how to get it apart. Why was there no instructions. You are right about the clips. Won`t even go near the engine block. It was only when the frosted glass panel fell out that it dawned on all of us. Thanks for the photo. I take it those are replacement gas cylinders as mine are semi- sunk in the chassis. I bought the green version. Thought I would be different.
All the best

Ian, the cylinder is made from the two halves (one half borrowed from the other side) glued together and fastened in place with brass rods. I also had to fill in the deck with a little piece of styrene. On the other side I placed a bell, not visible here.

Regards,
Bill

Here's a shot of my Mack Family Gathering where you can at least see the placement of the bell.

Ian, follow Bob C.'s advice , use an Xacto razor knive or a needle plyer to pull the headlight out from both sides, the roof will come off then and you can remove the frosted glass if you choose and add a cab interior without any additional dissamebly. I did mine the hard way when I repainted it and undid the motor block first and worked my my from the bottom up. The secret to the motorblock tab is to use a small flat screwdriver to gently move the tab just enough to free the block. Its a pain but I've done it twice now, but when I get to do a new cab for them I'm following Bill's method. You'll find it irresistable to NOT modify this Pup, it just begs to be bashed and detailed and modified. I hope you enjoy. Vic

Thanks fellers for the advice. Bill, your photos look great. I also intend fitting knuckle coupling.
