Fowler 4F R3313, R3315,Fowler 2P R3459, R3460, there isn't any instruction on how to remove the Loco body. I need to fit Working Head Lamps, Firebox Glow & so need access around back of the motor.
Any instructions, photos / help will be much appreciated.
Thanks

This is the service sheet for the 2P

and for the 4F
http://www.lendonsmodelshop.co.uk/pdf/Horn...0Class%204F.pdf
The 4F loco body is removed by removing the two outermost screws on the underside - that at the cab end also retains the coupling bar to the tender as identified by the asterisks on the service sheet of the tender drive version

Thank you Butler-Henderson, if only I had rembered that I downloaded those service sheets last year. On the 4F you only need to undo front & rear screws on loco as the middle one holds the wheels and motion in place.

Thanks once again for your help.

The only thing I can think of is that Hornby tend to incorporate a stupid spiders web of exessively over long wiring which sometimes can get trapped between one one side of the motor and the body shell meaning a tug is needed to pull the chassis out of the body. If you cannot get the body off suggest emailing Hornby at [email protected]
