I need to remove the the shell from a Bavarian steam locomotive. In order to reach the screw, a plastic cap needs to be removed from the hood first. I've tried toothpicks, my figernails, twisting it, but nothing helps. I don't want to damage the finish on the locomotive.

What have you guys used?

Thanks.
Best regards,
Armando García

Only my fingertips. Straight upwards, and off the plastic cap goes. Just try a little harder Cool

It sure drove me mad with my BR18.4, until I realised the cap comes off partway down the hood, rather than at the top, which is where I had been trying. It should come away fairly easy, I just used my fingernail.
