I have searched everywhere I can think of and can't find any details of how to disassemble the loco or where to place the decoder - can anyone help?

**Hello Randolph

It will almost certainly be one screw up front and then remove the drawbar... a TCS MC-2 or M-1 will certainly fit, and a TCS DP2x-UK wireless decoder may fit too....

Bromsgrove models carry these in stock in UK and offer excellent service.

Here below is a copy of the 5MT exploded drawing

I have just this weekend put a chip in a Class 5 ....one screw at each end as quoted before ...but also the speedometer has a tiny screw on the wheel axle...this releases the speedometer. The back screw is under the brake thingy which pops out. There is a lovely receptacle for the decoder in front of the plug...be wary of the screw in the base of said receptacle which could short out your decoder..
Good Luck..

pictures and words here -

written at least in part as I wanted to note down the various pieces of the jigsaw so that next time I could disassemble mine without breaking it (again!)

Got a ZTC4007 direct plug-in in mine, although if doing another (or any other loco with a direct plug-in decoder) I would use the TCD DP2x UK (which is also slightly smaller)

There is a plastic "box" included with the Standard 5 that slots into that receptacle area and insulates a "floating" decoder - the box has the top and one end open. Having either a ZTC4007 or a TCS DP2X-UK (I think that's right) plugged directly in negates the need for the plastic item.

Thanks everyone, especially Tim for his words and pictures, I now have my Lokpilot 3 installed and the loco works!
