New Atlas O Troop cars - removing the shell

Greg Houser posted:

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to purchase the new release Atlas Troop cars and was wondering if anyone knows how difficult it is to remove the shell as I'd like to populate them with soldiers? Any tips or tricks (such as twisting action on MTH cars)? 

Thanks in advance,

Greg

 

 

I have a circular saw..a saw saw ect....LOL😜🔨📐📏

The weaver cars, as I recall, were just unscrew and pull up. Make sure you unplug the light board before you completely separate. I've painted and populated a bunch of the weaver cars. Plot out where you're going to put the figures before you use glue. The windows are pretty small and with the bunks, you need to have the soldiers sitting off the edges of the bunks to make their heads fit.
