K-Line woodeside Caboose disassembly | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

I am looking to pain a K-Line woodside caboose and letter it for the MoPac. The problem is, I can't figure out how to get the thing apart.

I have removed the top of the smokejack, the end ladders, the toolbox (underneath). There are four recessed holes underneath, two on each side, which appeared to have screws in them, and I loosened them (but none will come all the way out). The shell isn't budging ;-)

Can anybody provide a hint or two what to do next? My web search has not turned up an exploded drawing; if you know of one, that would probably be a great help, too.

Thanks in advance. . . . !

I have a PRR Eastern style caboose and the screws were hidden in LONG bosses that went to the roof. I removed them all and it would NOT come apart. To this day the port hole glass is still swimming inside the shell.

Has no one had one of these apart?
