Normally, something like this will be generally attached either by screws from below or tabs that snap into the flatcar deck. Turn it over and look for evidence of screws or tabs and go from there.
why not just replace the wheels and leave the truck mounted?
how can i just replace the wheels?? please tell me more. also D&H i took out the only screw that i found that held the top piece on. and it is not budging. could it have been glued down do you think??

The trucks are made of Delrin Plastic- a flexible yet slippery plastic. With a small screwdriver, one should be able to pry off the wheels from the trucks. fliping the car over, the trucks have a small grove where the needlepoint axle slips into the plastic truck. You have to pry the axle ends out of its socket and down this groove. Don't pry too much or you will risk snapping the plastic truck/sideframe.
ok thanks i will try that
a picture of the underneath of the car would help with removal of the base, but as mentioned the axles can be removed easily as is. G
