STEP 1: Disassembling the car
1: I am using
a Walthers
HO Pullman
Standard 52
seat coach
that has
begun its life
as an ACL
coach. It will
be refinished
into Seaboard
Coast Line
#5251.
2: I remove the trucks and couplers and disassemble
the floor, roof, and ends. To remove the roof, I
employ the "twist" method that has been described
on several model railroad web forums. This involves
gently twisting the body in a side to side motion until
one side of the roof pops up. I used a plastic spade
to push a tab if it stubbornly clings to a wall.
