Here is the exploded diagram from HO Seeker. It looks like the bulb is sandwiched between the split frame.

| I appreciate that...After removing the screws the shell just won't fully drop off...It's as if something else is attached...Shell gets loose and I am just afraid to horse it out...Anybody familiar with this sort of problem ? Unit is mint !!..THANKS

I have the Plus version of their Northern, which is held together by one screw under the cab, and a two small tabs on the frame in the front. I was wondering if the dotted line from the boiler to the frame indicated a screw boss coming down from the sand dome. I think my old 0-6-0 has a third screw in the bottom cover that screws into a boss that comes down from the top of the shell. If yours has this arrangement, the screw boss may may have a tight friction fit between the frame halves, which would explain why it doesn't release.
