Think the body just clips on. Just ease it off. The locating clips are each side, ease a thin screwdriver between the side and the chassis and gently leaver it.
I used to change tyres without removing the top but the method is difficult to explain.

Thin screwdrivers work, but plectrums are better as they are plastic too and don't mark the plastic of the body on any locos, coaches, wagons or tenders. I'm sure I read this tip on here somewhere!
