T3D-028-000 Tender / Body Shell Opening Tool
A tender and body shell opening tool. This is a very thin credit-card like tool with one beveled edge. The tool is designed to facilitate easy opening of model railway rolling stock such as Hornby tender-driven locomotives, Diesels and Electric locomotives. You only need to print one for tenders, but for Diesels and Electric locomotives, we recommend you print off 3-4 so that you can easily hold the body shell clips open. You can also use this tool for opening coaches and scraping paint from surfaces.
