3rd Rail K-2a: Where is the 9v Battery and how do I get to it?

0-Gauge CJOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

I recently got my hands on one of 3rd Rail's beautiful N&W K-2a locomotives. From the looks of the packaging, it may very well be unused. When I opened the shipping box, it still had the receipt/shipping invoice from Scott Mann addressed to the dealer I bought from inside.

In the little instruction booklet that comes included, it recommends taking out the 9v battery for long-term storage. Since I am running with TMCC/Legacy I don't need the 9v battery, and because it's possibly been ten years since that battery was installed I think I should probably take it out and put electrical tape over the terminals. Here's my problem, I've looked over the tender and cannot find a screw or another way to get to the battery. The manual doesn't explicitly say either. Any ideas on how to get to the battery?
