Can I just say how helpful this advice has been. I managed to wiggle the chassis off but putting it back on left me in fear of damaging the valve gear. The instruction manual explains how to remove the cow catchers but not the side-skirts. They do come off quite easily, however, there are two slots at either end attaching them to the body and then, about one panel in two vertical lugs - look at the parts diagram to see what I mean. If you pull the ends gently outwards and then downwards the skirt comes away. In terms of DCC sound Youchoos have a sound file and there is helpful guide at: http://youchoos.co.uk/Index-Resource.php?L1=IG-LNERJ70
