Hello prinz_7,

for opening this model you must do thise steps:
1 remove the 2 small cover on the top of the model (one is quad form and the second is little circle form )
2 under these cap you will find the 2 screw that you must remove
3 carefully open the models

These steps are done in the same way for the two part aln 442 and aln 448

Do not open motor because inside it there small ball that may be missing.Test it with powering the two contact on top.
Best regards
Massimiliano

sorry the two cap on the top is one rectangular form and the other circle form.removing it with a small screwdriver.No adesive or glue was used by Rivarossi for these two parts but only posed onto.

Following Massimiliano's experience I would suggest to give a look to the 1970 spare parts catalog (http://www.rivarossi-memory.it/Ricambi/ ... licati.htm) in the Rivarossi Memory website where you will find very useful exploded views of the model.
