Body Removal – Power Car
With one hand, gently squeeze the body sides together where shown in Fig 2, whilst easing the underframe assembly from the body with the other hand.
Ease the front of the body downwards as shown in Fig 3, taking care that the front of the underframe does not catch on the sides of the nose cone (Fig 4). Slide underframe forward, making sure that the coupling mechanism clears the slot in the rear of the body.
To re-assemble, reverse the above procedure, making sure that the coupling mechanism is located through the slot in the rear of the body (Fig 5) before easing the underframe back into place.

Decoder Location
Your model will have either a pre-fitted decoder (Fig 6) or a 'DCC Ready' socket (Fig 7).
Additional coaches are available to complete the 9 car train. Contact your Hornby Service Dealer or visit the Hornby website for information. Packs will be marked with the relevant keys shown in the chart for easy identification and to enable coupling in the correct sequence.
IMPORTANT – Only apply small single drops of light machine oil to the places indicated in red in Fig.8. This is best achieved by making a simple oil “dropper”
as illustrated in Fig.9. Insert a straightened paper clip into a cork and use a bottle cap as a container for the oil. A small drop of oil can then be picked up by the
dropper and applied in exactly the right place. Immediately wipe off any excess oil, especially from the locomotive body. Only lubricate moving parts.
