Guys: a dumb question or maybe I am a dumb guy, but I can't get the shell off and I am afraid to pry apart after removing a bunch of phillip head screws! Is there a secret to this S-3 shell removal? It is a very well done model IMO - fully rounded underside boiler.
Thanks.

@Paul Kallus, I'm not sure about the S3, but my 2-10-4 is also a model with cylinder smoke like the S3. There are 2 screws, one in the bottom of each cylinder that need to come out if you haven't removed them (they are down in deep holes on mine). Took me a while to figure out those were the last 2 screws I needed to take out in order to remove the shell.

On mine, there are also 4 screws under the cab that need to come out as well.. so a total of 6 screws. Again, I'm not sure if the S3 has a similar setup.
