How does one remove the roof on an Atlas 80ft passenger coach?

Hello, Atlas heavyweights were originally Branchline car kits, but simply assembled from the factory. The roofs were press fit to the body, however since theyre factory assembled, they used some glue to secure it in place. You CAN remove them (and reglue them when youre done, but it might be messy. Ive had sucess sliding an xacto knife (or thin screwdriver) between the roof and ends of the car, and prying it out from there.
