Joined: 25/07/2001(UTC) Posts: 11,161		I have recently got a couple of Trix Orient Express coaches from ebay... I have one 43xxx 3R AC version, and a couple of 23xxx 2R DC version... Since these coaches are fitted with interior lighting, I thought of doing some clever rewiring of them so I can get the DC coaches shining with interior lights too... Since I don't want lots of sliders & heavy conversion efforts, I have a plan... This means connection of a small cable or current conducting couplers between the coaches. It also means I have to get into the 23xxx DC coaches and separate the "+" from the rail connection. Since these are precious great looking coaches, I do not want to break anything with my usual hammer & screwdriver method - so I have to ask... How do I open these without damaging them... ?
