[quote user="rrinker"]Turning the crew around is a trying task, they sit on little pegs and even with some right angle tweezers I have a hard time getting them back in - they pop out easily enough.[/quote] Yes, yes they are, but I got them.  Turns out the mount is a square peg.  Super easy to remove.  Painted them up with Polyscale Conrail Blue, Poly Scale Sand Oxide Red, and Gunmetal (seats because reason).   Removal: (shell, because I already installed it) about 15 min and 3 broken tabs, a broken bell and one truck came off (1st time I almost threw this thing against the wall)  Shell had to come off because I didnt install the winterization hatch earlier, and i was concerned about drilling into the decoder.  (I might replace it with a Details whatever one with a see through grill, the plastic one doesnt do the rest of the model justice). Crew removal: about 10 sec each (easy enough)   Painting: 15 min for both (including hunting down appropriate colors and a paint brush) Reinstallation: 10 Min each (Second time I almost threw something).  [:(!] Yeah Ive deviated from wiring, but getting this thing to look like the photo is important to me.
