Hi Will this help https://www.hornby.com/us-en/downloads/view/index/cat/23/?p=2 scroll down to the schools link and download the pdf Looks like four screws retaing the pick up assembly, and 2 screws retaining the tender body Paul
Thanks paul already been there no details on parting the tender there is no screws in the tender http://www.click Captain pugwash
Indeed there are 2 screws. They are about 2/3rds back if you look closely at the picture. They are quite difficult to spot when looking at the underside of the tender. Make sure you look under a good light, and it greatly helps to have a magnetized screwdriver, especially when putting them back in. I'm assuming you have one of the later DCC-ready super-detail models, rather than the much earlier version with tender drive? If not, see here for the R380 version. It's possible the tender body just unclips and there are no screws. http://www.hornbyguide.com/item_details.asp?itemid=88
This is the early tender drive there are definitely no screws have check with good lìght and magnifier i can see the motor gears and wiring inside but no screws http://www.click Captain pugwash
From the look of the service sheet, it appears the tender top is held on by clips alongside the base, not a very good drawing. I don't know if you are meant to try and lever the top off, I would be very careful about sticking anything like a screwdriver or similar into the joint, take your time, it is meant to come off. Cheer's, Pete.
Might this sheet be closer http://www.hornbyguide.com/service_sheet_details.asp?sheetid=107 Looks like the coupling screw might secure the body in place. Paul
