Earl: Disassembly of any new state of the art locomotive and the word "easy" do not mesh together. I have disassembled an SHS SW and have accomplished it without damage to the windows, but there WERE casualities, thus had to order small parts here and there. I seem to recall breaking the little tabs off the headlight enclosure(s)? IF you cannot order/find an undec, then would suggest you purchase the plainest, must drab livery imaginable (either the NYC or PRR should do nicely? <g>)... and using fine sandpaper, sand the lettering/numbering off, as well as lightly sanding the unobstructed surfaces (cab roof/sides/etc) for additional "tooth". You should then be able to mask off the windows, number boards, headlights, et al, for painting. Not easy either... but better than broken parts?
