Kernow gate stock body removal

[PhilH]

A while back I purchased an unpainted final EP of the Kernow gate stock at the RMweb meet up in Taunton. The time has come to now start thinking about painting the set and populating it with some figures. However I can't quite see how to get the body off and am loathe to start poking knives and screwdrivers into its nether regions until have a rough idea which nether region to poke (always a good idea I find).

Of course being an EP it could be it is just glued on in which case I will have to try and paint just the outside. If anyone could give me a few tips on removal (is there a service sheet for this set?) I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

Having just taken the body off the driving trailer myself to modify the seat at the trailing end to allow people to walk through the gangway connection, the body just unclips easily from the chassis moulding. I inserted a small, flat-bladed screwdriver between the solebar and the body lower edge at the trailing end of the coach and pushed very gently to release the clip, then slid the screwdriver along to the other end, then repeated for the other side.

If you look inside the coach through the large windows, you can actually see the black plastic clips extending up to slots in the glazing.

Thank you, that's exactly the info I was looking for.
