Can someone tell me the easiest way to remove the cabin so I can fit a Woodland Scenics engineer and fireman in

Remove the cabin from what model? A little more info is needed.

Sorry everyone, I forgot to say the model is an On30 Heisler.

I don't have one in front of me to verify, but I would look for two screws under the cab. Once those are free the cab should wiggle free. The dried paint from the factory can sometimes act like a glue and make things a tad difficult to break free. Watch for any small detail pipes etc. that may need to be pulled or coaxed free. The cab should lift straight up once the screws are out.

You could just cut them in half at the waist. That's what I did to put my crew figures into the cabs of my On30 ten-wheelers...

Full size figures won't fitt anyway.
