I'm a postwar guy and have serviced countless postwar Berkshire locomotives. Today I've got a 6-8003 Chessie Stesm Special from 1980 on the bench for service. I removed the two fillister screws underneath the cab and the single fillister screw under the steam chest. Well, that didn't free up the shell at all. I took a visual and decided to remove the eccentric crank screws. That didn't get me anywhere. I then looked up the service diagrams (https://www.lionelsupport.com/...ts/13100Complete.pdf) and I still can't figure out what is preventing me from separating the shell.
I'm sure someone here can help me get past this brain fart...
