MTH USRA 0-6-0 Where is the battery?

I took delivery from Stout auctions this beautiful MTH USRA 0-6-0 with PS2 and hidden drawbar.

I wanted to find out where the battery is so I can replace it with a BCR. Unfortunately I dont have directions for this locomotive and in taking apart the tender, I definitely do not see any battery, Just an electronic board! I have no Idea where to take off the locomotive shell and check there. Does anyone have experience in taking apart this highly detailed loco?

Take a look at page 18 of the MTH manual:

Thank you! The link was VERY helpful!

I’ve always seen them in the tender on steam.

Beautiful model - one of their better ones, IMO. I hope Lionel does it justice with their Legacy version. I guess we'll know before too much longer.
