How do I get the body off

[alan gee]

I have been given a Lliput 0-6-2 tank locomotive. The one I had before you unscrewed the chimney and the super structure came away from two little lugs at the back of the cab. This loco has the chimney lose with no screw under it and I can not find any other screw anywhere that holds the body on to the chassis. Can anybody help me to get the chassis free from the body. The loco has OBB 298.53 and 7a on the cab side and looks Germany in appearance as a black body and red wheels.
Kind regards

Hi Alan,

There isn't a file available showing how the loco comes apart.

There should have been one with it when it was new, but I guess that was lost along the way?

There is a pdf for parts though...

If you go onto the Bachamann website then follow links to Liliput, then Downloads and use the search box.

This will bring up a list of products including yours and will also have a link to the pdf for downloading.

If you then go back and follow the Service link it takes you to another part of the website.

You will find email addresses that can be used to see if they can give more information.

Thanks

ps

I would have put it up here but it's too large a file

You have to un-clip the water tank fillers!

If you need to remove the keeper plate for the wheels you have to remove the front coupling and then slide the keeper plate forwards.
Do not try to just un-clip it as it will snap the clips off.

Hi Alan,

This is the response I've got:

The catalogue number may be 718 22, and it is a model from the original Liliput company (before Bachmann).
If so the body is held by clips under the water filler caps on the tank sides. Lifting the caps allows you to release the clips and work the body free of the chassis. The instruction sheet shows you can lift the clips from the underside of the chassis with a screwdriver blade. They can also lift free gently using a finger nail.

I hope this helps!

Cheers,

Friso

They can also lift free gently using a finger nail.

I would not recommend you do this as they can snap. I would use a small screwdriver from under the tanks to unclip them.

You will also have remove the brake pipe that is attached to the front of the body, it should just be clipped in place, but some people glue them in when they come lose!
