Micro-Trains Observation Car Reassembly
« on: Yesterday at 02:32:20 PM »

Trying to replace the roof with a balloon roof. Car took a nose dive. Attempted to put it back together and the Rubic's cube type reassembly isn't working. I *think* I have all the parts, windows, rear glass and front door panel, but I'm not sure of what goes in and in what order.
Any help would be greatly appreciated......

I don't have an observation car yet, but based on the other heavyweights I have, it's interior first, side windows, door panel, rear glass, then roof; which only goes on one way.

Per the above, but there is a weight- that goes in before the interior.  Just take it slow- the parts are all keyed so there is only one way everything fits- small tabs and slots that mate together. If something isn't working, try reversing it.

I have a mind like a steel trap...a VERY rusty, old steel trap.

The window glazing that runs the length of the car should have thicker sections on the ends. The thicker part goes to the center of the car so that it sits flush against the windows. The vestibule walls are held in place by those. That may be the problem if reversed.
