Hi all, ive got an old lima mk 2 coach here in front of me, its had a poor weathering job done on it so im trying to take it appart so i can clean it up and make it presentable...

Ive got the bogies off the chassis, and after a bit of perswation i got the chassis off the body, but im damed if i can work out how the glazing and interior come out the body?

I can't even work out how they got them in there at the production stage... any ideas would be appreciated.

Many thank, GJ steve.

You have to pop the roof panel out, it's best done from underneath and very carefully.

The easiest (using the term very loosely) way is to grip the bodyshell at both ends and twist it one way then the other getting slightly more brutal each twist, the glazing/ roof will normally pop out after a while but is an absolute £@#& to remove.

If you dont twist it enough the roof/ windows wont come out but if you overdo it the roof will break, it really takes a lot of abuse to get them seperated.

I have done about 12 and havent broke one yet although a few did creak a bit in a rather worrying way.
