Removing the loco bodyshell
To remove the body on the 66:
1. There are 2 body clips located on each side of the locomotive as
shown below (4 in total).
2. The best way to remove these is to use some plastic card, an old bank
card, hotel room card or scraps of plasticard are very good for this.
3. We recommend using 4 small pieces of card on each side, slid into the
locations shown below.
4. You should now be able to carefully slide the body up and off the
chassis but be careful, there is some delicate pipework that hangs from
the body and may be damaged. See them highlighted in orange below.
Select versions include a ladder
which will also come off with the body

Changing the air dams
Our locomotives come with removable air dams to make it easy to select
the configuration that is correct for you.
From the factory the locomotive comes with one ‘prototypical’ air dam
fitted and one with the coupling slot fitted, as shown below.
To change the configuration
1. Remove the bodyshell.
2. Locate the 2 screws above the air dam you wish to remove.
3. Remove the screws then gently pull the air dam in the direction shown
on the diagram below.
4. Select the air dam to be replaced and slot it into the holes.
5. Replace the screws.
6. If it is the air dam with the coupling slot, insert the coupling into the
NEM pocket.
7. Replace the bodyshell.

Fitting a digital decoder
Fitting digital sound
The digital socket on this locomotive is designed to fit 21 pin
decoders and can be found on the circuit board in the centre of the
locomotive, under the bodyshell.
To fit a digital decoder:
1. Remove the bodyshell (Page 3).
2. Unplug the blanking plate, being careful not to bend any pins.
3. Install the new decoder, ensuring that it is the correct way around.
We recommend the use of 6 funcion digital decoders, use of a 2 or 4
function decoder will work but will not give full access to all lighting
functions.
Follow the above instructions first.
For the speaker, there is a space made for our Rail Rumble speaker to
slot into.
1. Insert the speaker with the cones facing downwards and the electrical
connections on the top.
2. Solder the flying leads from the decoder on to the 2 terminals on the
back of the speaker, being careful not to bridge them.
If you do not feel confident doing this, we can fit the sound for you.
Please contact us for details.

Lighting
The Class 66 features a fully independent lighting system, with all lights
able to function as they do on the real locomotive.
To see how it works, please read the section below that matches your
control system.
Inside the loco there are 6 switches in 2 banks of 3, controlling the lights
at each end of the loco independently. This means you can have
different setups for each end. There are also switches on the bottom of
the loco to control the tail lights at each end. See the diagrams below.
Note that all of the switches inside the loco have a central off position. If
this position is selected, some lighting functions will not work. Switches
should always be in either the top or bottom positions unless lighting is
not needed.
Switch 2 on the underside does not currently have a function.
For the use of these switches, please see the following section that is
applicable to your control system:

position.
Tail lights are turned off and on using switches

Lighting - ESU Loksound 5 21MTC "MKL" (58449)
Day and night running lights
All lighting control is controlled via the decoder using the modes set up
with CV values and function selections to make operating the Class 66
with sound as realistic as possible. For full instructions on how to oper-
ate the lighting and sound functions, please see the Class 66 Sound
Instructions sheet supplied separately.
For optimum control, this model works best with an ESU 58449
Loksound 5 21MTC "MKL" decoder and Hattons Sure Sound. All factory
fitted Digital Sound models are equipped with this decoder.
All rolling stock on the national network has to have “group standard”
lighting to be allowed to run. This means there are 3 marker lights
forming a triangle (one just above each buffer and one centrally above
the cab windows) and 2 headlights. The Day headlight is on the
non-drivers side and points towards the side of the tracks, away from the
opposite running line so as not to dazzle oncoming drivers. The night
headlight is below the drivers windscreen and points along the running
rail to better illuminate reflective signs at night and also throw the light
further to aid track workers sighting of traffic.
