Liliput OBB 2060 loco body removal

[swisspeat]

Hello,

 

I have a Liliput OBB 2060 two axle HO scale loco (L132471) that runs really well indeed but the interior of the cab is the same red plastic as the body and I would like to be able to paint inside the cab and add a driver.

 

My model is about 3 years old and made in China. I say this because older versions of this loco seem to be made differently.

 

I have read the instructions but there is very little in them about body removal. I have removed the couplings etc. Nothing budges. I have tried prizing open the sides of the loco body but the sides do not even move!

 

The body must be removable but I am struggling at the moment.

 

Does anyone know anything please that might help?

 

Thanks very much indeed.

 

Kind regards,

 

Peter

Hi Peter.

I have just checked how I got into mine, I placed a very small jewel screwdriver between the body and the cab steps and prized the body outward which then allowed the body to lift, I then removed the clear plastic lens from the rear bulkhead which then enabled the cab to drop down.

My model was brought new three years ago so I would think it would come from the same manufacturing period as yours.

I agree with you on the running qualities a super little loco.

If you still have problems let me know and I will bring mine along to the ARG, AGM.

Hope this helps.

Peter,

Just a footnote, the running plate is part of the chassis the body should lift from the running plate leaving the chassis/running plate as one piece.
