Help! I have an MTH SP Caboose that I fried a section of wire when it derailed. How do I take the body off the frame so I can resolder a replacement wire to the pick up? Any help will be welcome. I starting to get to repair projects I have been putting off and the rewire job is high on the list because I like the SP paint job and marker lights on it. Thanks in Advance.

MTH part # of caboose or year built would be helpful.
Search here MTH Search (upper left)
Search "sp caboose" and 14 cabooses pop up.
Like Susan asks, and as Marty mentioned long ago, the item number is almost always need for a specific item's repair or trouble shooting.
Ok, Thanks for the heads-up. The # is 20-91008 it's the Southern Pacific Extended Vision Caboose No.324. It appears to be from the Premier line. I was unaware of that, I bought it at a Train show used. So, where do I find instructions to take the thing apart?
Thanks for the info so far.
Please disregard the part of the above message regarding repair info. I downloaded the manual for the caboose. Thanks for the help, I knew I could count on OGR fourm members for Good Info.
i have a mth cat caboose-20-91363 cab # 2012 the light bulbs are burnt out- i have removed the four screws that secure the cab to the frame but how do i remove the cab from frame without damaging the plastic -afraid to pull or bend without damaging the plastic
Funny they don't provide support files for the latest versions. This link is for a 2001 edition manual which might or might not be the same.

If it doesn't match your caboose then go forward in the catalog year listings and find another that is a Premier edition

( part number starts with 20- ) and look in it's support for a newer instruction manual.
