billtee Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I would like to fit coach lighting in my Heljan O gauge BR Mk.1 coaches, but how do I get into them? There are no instructions in the packaging! Thanking you for any help. Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeg Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Billtee, I have not got an Heljan coaches but all their other locos and wagons have usually 4 screws holding the chasis to the body and they put them under the bogies. Hope this may help. Have you looked on the Haljan web site there may be an instruction sheet? regards mike g Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
billtee Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 No screws except those holding on bogies! I rang the shop from where I bought the coaches, and he said the roofs just pry off after unfastening the wire 'water pipes', but I am very reluctant to start levering off the roof of a £250 coach. The brake blocks fall off at the slightest bump, and I've even had window fall into the coach after it had been damaged on the ends by the parcrl delivery company! Heljan coaches are EXTREMELY fragile!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heljan coaches are EXTREMELY fragile!!! Hi billtee, I just took my roof off and it was remarkably easy following your instructions. I'd advise a 'soft' tool like a plastic chisel shape or guitar plectrum, but it does come off easily. Can I ask what make are your coach lighting kits and where did you get them? Mark.
