How to disassemble a K-Line K612 NYC Bay Window caboose

This caboose needs to be disassembled to repair and repaint. The disassembly method is to remove the end ladders from the end steps and then remove the 4 screws that hold the roof to the base. Once the screws are removed the roof and underframe separate easily.

As shown all wiring from the interior has been removed. Overhead battery operated LED lighting will be added later. Since the model does not have a smoke unit the "stack" will be modified so that it attaches through the roof. The trucks will be modified to remove the "pickup assembly".

This might help. I had trouble taking a K-line N5c apart.

Can't remember exactly how that one comes apart but K-Line cabooses tend to have "hidden" screws in deep recesses in the chassis. You will need a long-shanked #1 Philips (or better, Pozidrive) screwdriver to get at them.

As I recall, it is somewhat of a PITA to take these apart, they didn't intend you to get into them.
