I have a Tyco caboose - the "modern" design with the angled cupola - the shell of which I am trying to remove. This particular model dates from the early 70s, but Tyco/Mantua had used this design earlier.
The shell is attached to the base with three small tabs - two on one side and one on the other. I'm sure the plastic doesn't have the flexibility it did 50 years ago. Still I am trying to move the tabs without destroying the cab.
Is there an easy trick to this?

Depress the tab on the single side with a jewellers screwdriver. Once that "seal" has been opened you can slide the shell and easily remove the tabs from their slots on the opposing side.
