I recently acquired this engine, and I need to remove the boiler shell casting from the lower frame. I removed 4 screws noted in the instruction book as fastening these two parts together, but I’m unable to separate the shell and frame. Before attempting any drastic measures I’m posting this message in hopes that the forum can provide some guidance to get the shell off the frame without damage. An earlier post by member “D&H 65”, “https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/topic/replacing-lionel-28085-jlc-y-6b-rear-engine-traction-tires” mentions this disassembly. I can lift the cab-end of the shell off the frame about 1/16”, but no further before encountering stiff resistance. Any advice from you folks?
Also, I want to find an exploded parts diagram, and a parts list. I hope you folks can provide a link.
