Micro Trains SW1500 Disassembly

How do the two frame halves of the MT SW1500 come apart?  The screws holding them together are not slotted or 'Phillips-ed' and I can't see how to remove them.  I need to replace the truck assemblies so I need to get this thing apart.

There is a plastic cap over the Phillips head screw. Just pry it out with the tip of a hobby knife.
The plastic caps are on there to supposedly keep the contact tabs from catching on the chassis.

Thanks, Jim.  I never would have figured that out.  I will now proceed.
