Hey kmott,
There is not a guide per say. But don’t let it put you off! just have a look at the train and see if the face is a separately cast piece of plastic, if it is a separate piece there will either be a screw to secure the face - accessible from inside the body, or it will have stalks of plastic melted into place, usually removing the screw (if fitted) and using a stanly knife or simalar can part the face from the body.
If the face is cast into the body itself it’s a little bit harder sometimes you can get away with filing/sanding the face down (like I did with spencer) or by completely cutting the face out (like I did with devious diesel)
Have a go it’s all fun!
As for lights, it’s something else which isn’t hard to do but can be really effective, the best trains to convert are the trains with enough space in the body to house the voltage booster.
I’m looking forward to seeing some of your creations!
Thanks
