I have a new Walthers doodlebug waiting for a decoder. I'm not planning on sound but will be interested in these posts when someone chimes in.

I did open mine to see where a decoder might go.[:(]

I had to use a couple of tools to keep everything on one side free while I worked on the other.

I'll try to remember to post a photo this weekend.[:I]

Note the black tabs (red arrows) on the frame/floor that interlock with the notches in the window glass piece which is glued into the body. This is where the separation must occur. And it is pretty easy to break off a tab or two (As shown on the lower left!).[:0]
