Has anyone tried to take the pilot off of Lionel’s S scale Mikado? At first glance, it looks pretty easy, however when I removed the one obvious screw holding it… nothing happened – the pilot did not come off. Hmmmm?
So before I destroy it trying harder to remove it, I though I’d ask. The Lionel parts list says it is not available, but if it were the pilot would cost like $75.00. I certainly don’t want to mangle it for this project.
The project is adapting a Kadee whisker coupler to the pilot. Actually though the pilot and mounting on the screw that secures the pilot.
Thank if you can help.
