Removing LGB Coach roof

[Doug]

OK, i'd like to install lighting and a few passengers, so how do you remove the roof (without breaking anything) from these coaches:

 

[Neil Robinson]

The roof clips into recesses in the glazing.
Ease the coach body outwards at the top by putting a couple of fingers through the open windows on one side and simultaneously ease the coach roof upwards.

Ah ha! Thats great Neil. Was contemplating screwdrivers into the roof/side join!

May i recommend the 'Boxcab Build, GRS Kit' topic in the in the 'Kit Building & Bashing / Scratch Build' section. The loco has now been sprayed with grey primer. The picture above is the nekkid styrene sheet!
