Dear Friends

I am based in Singapore and I need help please, on how to dismatle the LGB Uintah mallet. I am about to convert this loco from DC to DCC. I can't seem to figure out how to take the loco apart. Can someone please guide me where do I start? Like which screws should I be taking apart first? I have successfully done the conversion of a Stainz and a Mogul, so have a little bit of experience.

Thank you.

Warmest regards
Daniel

The LGB breakdown is a good starting place, most of the top body tends to come off with screws going up from the bottom of the chassis. This link also includes wiring for the beast. Take pictures as you go and put screws in small boxes by size.
 
You have to remove the cab, then the firebox, and there is one screw on the front top of the boiler screw #188 on the 20882 pdf print. Also there are screws under part 38 air tanks, so remove all 3 tanks. Plus a screw in the middle front of the front truck which is hard to get to.

See the pdf - chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.trainli.com/USER-GUIDE-PDF/New%20LGB%20Engines/lgb-20882-user-guide.pdf
