I have a MTH #30-4038-1 Pennsylvania, 6-8-6 Turbine Steam Passenger Ready-to-Run Train Set with protocol 2.0 from the year 2000 (see set photo). It has ABS plastic streamlined passenger cars (dome, baggage and end observation) which are lighted with interior seats (see photos). I want to populate them with passenger figures but can't remove the shells to get to the seats. How are the shells removed to get to those seats?

Looks as if there's a screw right underneath the coupler arms. Give that a try.

Mort is right. Sometimes more that a slight twist, though. Firmly grab the car with both hands, one near each end, and give it a good twist.
If yours is the same as mine...there are 2 sets of screws at each end, and the ones you want are the ones partially hidden under the wheels. Once these are out, grasp the car ends in both hands and twist in opposite directions to make the roof pop off.
While you have them open, can I suggest LED lighting as an upgrade as well?
