Can anyone tell me how to remove the wheels and axles from this? I'm
trying to improve the contact between the pickupd and the wheels but
can't see a way in.

Thanks

Syd

Maybe the instruction sheet is some help?

This gives the impression that the bogie frame / keeper plate assembly
is a clip fit over the ends of the bogie castings, which have a little
lip each end to retain the assembly.

Sorry for not replying sooner, I did refer to the diagram, but I must
say it seemed very tight and didn't want to break it. I then checked a
few other things and discovered a few unsoldered joints on the circuit
board, most likely my own fault. So I'd jumped to the wrong
conclusion. Running fine now.
