Well, sort of anyway!
Step 1: Very carefully lever one side of the roof off, making sure all fingers are behind the blade and the model is held firmly (unlike the photo!).
Step 2: Do the same for the other - if you can see it starting to split, carefully push the blade into the inside of the roof from the other side (as shown above).
Step 3: Now I very carefully cut the end frame as shown above. Lay the wagon flat and hold it firmly!
Step 4: Carefully ease the glazing off.
Step 5: Gently press the blade down the rim of the frame stopping before the bottom of the windows.
Step 6: Cut away each bottom frame of the windows as shown. Clean up using an emery board, re-glue the roof and you're ready for painting.

You're not far off with that Jam
Best of luck

Thanks Ian - a lot more I could add to make it look more prototypical such as a wider roof overhang, lower sides and added end stanchions but they're getting there. They'll be painted grey eventually to match the real things.
Cheers,
Jam
