how do i take it apart because i want to cut it down to make a full-mail shorty version out of it and mount it onto a switcher chassis so i can use the motor/bogie combination to power a more important box motor project.

I had some dificulty tearing this one apart, if you want I cant take some pics of the one I dismantled. It is secured in four points, 2 each side and mine was also glued a bit, try to separate first the front or the back pushing the sides out.
Ross most of these should come apart easly.
As nalmeida suggested the sides might need a bit streaching out to release it.
Do the couple screws go throught to the body to secoure the body to the frame?
If so thats the way in take all screw out from underneath, and prize the body off.
Let us know.

It has two screws through the underframe but i have taken them out and the shell still wont come apart, think it may well be glued or tabbed together. will be ahing another go now!
got the body off now. didnt realise the frame was solid metal. This is going to be more of a porblem to bash thatn i thought!
Ross,
It took me for ever to get the cab of my doodlebug off. I did it though, about 2 1/2 years ago. And I forget how it came off.
But I did put a thread up about it. I can remember that bit.
