I have a Lionel New York Central Lines/B&A 4-6-0 Ten-Wheeler 6-28098 and want to install new pickup roller assemblies on the engine. Each collector assembly is attached to the underside of the engine by a stainless-steel screw (see photo). Can I just remove the screws, substitute the new collectors and retighten the screws or is it necessary to remove the shell to connect (or solder) the collector to wiring inside the engine?

Mel- the off-set dirt pattern leads me to believe the engine has been run on the same loop of track for a while. Either that, or it doesn't run straight on the rails and is slightly twisted to one side and kind of "crabbing" down the track.

I use contact cleaner on pickups followed by a wire wheel in my Dremell.
