       Lionel 1615 0-4-0 switcher locomotive motor removal?

       Need help! Removal was simple up to the point where the motor
       was ready to fall out of the main body, but was hung up by a
       brass screw through from the cab. There is no phillips or
       straight slot. It appears to be a flat knurled screw head that
       is depressed in a small circular indention. I can't turn the
       screw with either needle nosed or flat nosed pliers.  How can I
       get the motor out? See

       Replying to my own post: by pressing the motor back toward the
       cab, the knurled head of the thru bolt became more accessible
       and my son the engineer was able to turn the screw and finally
       free the motor.  Now for some seriously overdue maintenance.
