Hello,
I have 2 American Flyer 655 passenger cars that I would like to take apart and replace the paper/plastic inside with some silhouettes.
There are no screws on the bottom, just 4 metal pieces that stick out the metal chassis on the bottom.
What is the best way to remove the chassis without damaging anything?
Thank you for your time, Ron.

The chassis is held on by small ribbed pins. Remove all wheels and set aside. VERY CAREFULLY heat the head of the pin with a soldering gun. Once hot pull the chassis up slightly thus pulling the pin up so you can get a good grip on it and pull it straight out easily. Just push them back in to reinstall the chassis.
Thank you Banjoflyer and LionelTin for the information.
I was able to get the pins out with a pair of tweezers to start them moving up and then needle nose pliers to get them out.
Thanks for your time, Ron.
