Reply to "Latest run of Lionel caboose-cam"

How do you do the disassembly? What I did and think I'll have to do again is:

1. Remove the 4 screws from the bottom about 1/4 inch which releases the caboose Shell.

2. Poke a side window out of the Cupola so that the power wire can be removed from the LED strip. This allows the Shell to be separated from the frame base far enough to do the next step.

3. Remove the LED strip so that the Cupola can be removed. The Cupola tabs are restricted from being pushed in by the structure molded on them and the holes they are pressed thru in the LED strip.

4. Then after removing the window, and replacing the LED strip, extend the LED strip power wire for easy reassembly and future disassembly. Also cut the rib away from the Cupola tabs so the Cupola can be removed without disassembly of the shell and frame. Glue the side window back in the Cupola.

Are there any simpler ways to get the window out short of striking it with a screwdriver and hoping the camera doesn't get dislodged?
