RR George, Many thanks for the pointers / procedure for taking these heavyweights apart. I have the 7 car George Washington set which needs them all replaced. I think I'll order a bunch of sitting passengers before I install the new Lionel replacement windows so that I only have to open them up once.

ARGH!!! Six hours later... 10 cars done... got hung up on a station sounds diner... put it back together and the sound went out! Took me an hour to figure out the rheostat was shorting out... BTW the first set of 7 cars I did was the George Washington. 4 of them needed new windows...

Now that I am and expert at it, I would remove the end vestibules so when placing the new windows on you can square them up right... 25 more cars to go... I am taking a break.
