Almost certainly there's a screw under the smoke-box, obscured by the pony truck; certainly that's beenthe case with all my brass steam locos.

It wasn't without its fraught moments, one of the tiny screws flew off into the Bermuda triangle which sits in my workshop, happily I have a wide selection of small sized screws and managed to find one that fitted, not without a certain amount of muttering. I feared that it would need to be drilled and tapped to a BA size - I've lots of those from 12 - 0 in size.
Glad to hear it. As for the screw, if you walk around in bare feet you WILL find it.
