Thanks Billy, you are a star, I had not spotted those screws.
Right, body removed, so it's of to play DCC!
Thanks

EDIT Err, not quite, getting the body of the motor coach is proving to be a nightmare because the chassis is cast metal and does not flex.
One piece of underframe detail has already dislodged, though looks stickable, there is nowhere safe to grip the underframe whilst trying to prise the clips apart.
Come on Bachmann, they know people want to fit chips into these, they have provided 2 sockets and lighting, great, but why not make the bodies screw fixed only?
