dymstocklr Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Having just had a lump of 2 x 1 fall from a great height onto this coach (don't ask!!) I've now got a lot of loose furniture inside it. Before I mess around with it and disturb the lighting system can anyone tell me how I should dismantle it? Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium BR60103 Posted May 21, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 21, 2011 I'm a couple of hours away from mine, but I think it's a couple of tabs under the ends. The one thing I remember is that the front end was very tight on the interior block; I was afraid it was glued on but it slowly slid away as I levered the body.

kiltedsignaller Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I've had no problem at all getting into mine: there are six tabs; one at each corner and two placed centrally on either side. They can be simply released with a small screwdriver and the whole shell can then be lifted off. The lighting is connected, roof to chassis, at the bar end and can be either unplugged or left intact, as there is a bit of leaway in the wires. I only discovered recently that the seats can come free; useful for turning the single "swivel" ones. Good luck, Bill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted September 21, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 21, 2011 Hattons has just reduced its price for the Devon Belle Observation car to £32.00 http://www.ehattons.....aspx?sid=32238. Now that IS good value and at that price will be hard to resist. Some other Pullmans (including both versions of the Bar Car) and Maunsells also reduced at the same time.

SteveGuess Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Sorry to hear about the accident Bill, but as I want to populate mine as it looks rather empty without any passengers, thanks to David & John for the advice on how to take it apart.

RMweb Premium BR60103 Posted April 27, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 27, 2012 One other item: I think you have to be careful putting the shell back on as there's a wire running in a groove on one side. (I'm not totally sure and I don't intend to take it apart again to check.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
