Rolling Stock For The Southwest

Lutz, some brass steam locomotives came with removeable ashpan covers - if you needed to remove the boiler/cab assembly from the running gear, you first had to remove these pieces, otherwise there was insufficient clearance for the motor to pass through the opening. However, all of the ones I've seen were screw-mounted, and there don't appear to be any holes in those parts. :?
Is there a chance that they might have something to do with fitting that oil tank into the coal bunker?
