Bachmann Jackson Sharpe Coach Lighting

Once more I ask for help. At the Llanfair show S.W.M.B.O obtained 4 Bachmann Jackson Sharpe Coaches, which I intend to bring up to scratch. The main problem being the lights fitted in the roof of each vehicle. So far I have manage to take the vehicles apart and I am able to see the bulbs which after in a plastic housing and I can not seem to reach them to unscrew. Has anyone any ideas? Or, perhaps could direct me as where to obtain a copy of the instruction sheet for these coahes when thay where supplied in kit form?
Many Thanks
 
Hi Brian
I have hupdated the lighting in several of the Bachmann Jackson coaches.
There are four screws underneath the floor.
With these undone the floor can be lifted free (it may need a little flexing to release the two tabs at either end.
The contact strips for the lights runs down the side of the coach near the centre and connects to two tabs on the floor which then are connected to the battery box.
The bulbs can be unscrewed from their sockets. In fact the lighting strips can be detached with the clerestory window strips.

I have either replaced the bulbs with warm white led screw in bulbs whilst still using the battery box or replaced the battery box with wheel contacts for power pickup from the rails.
The screw in led bulbs have resistors and rectifiers in their bases so are not polarity sensitive and work up to 19v.
On two coaches, instead of bulbs I replaced the bulbs with a cut off section of led roll driven from the battery box (the strip is rated up to 12v).

By using a brown spirit marker, the White of the LEDs took on a nice dim 'tungsten' appearance.
