Servicing the real GM 071s, 141s and 181s Do the hoods come off like the 201s?

Hi All

In the attached picture from Inchicore Works (credit eiretrains.com) it show a 201 in for heavy service, and part of the body shell has been lifted off. Can this be done with the 071s and 141/181s if required? I know that they have many doors along the side of the body, which probably makes it easier to service, but can the entire or part of the hood be removed also? And just to clarify, I,m referring to the real thing and not the models!

Certainly the panels on the sides and roof can be removed leaving the inner skeletal structure intact.

Rich,
