I was at a friends home several days ago who owns both the first Lionel Legacy Bib Boy and the Vision Big Boy. I convinced him that we should double head them but when I tried to remove the scale coupler from the Legacy version, I ran into problems. First the screw head was nickel colored instead of all the normal blackened head. Second, the head was not easily accessible. I tried to remove the screw anyway but was only able to strip the head. Inspection of ways to get to the head, I could not figure out how to get to the area around the head. It looks like I you would have to almost disassemble the whole engine to get to it.
Any one have similar issues or any experience reaching the screw head?
Thank,
Don
