Piko V60 - Anyone fitted a decoder yet?

The only thing I know is that you have to unscrew 10 screws to get inside..
Read an article about it but don't know where, will search for it..

Just aquired a PIKO V60/BR260 and just happened to have a spare Massoth XL decoder.
Does anyone have any tips on fitting a decoder/dismantling one of these (Not so little) little beasties?

Yes, there are detailed instructions on the Massoth Forum.

Excellent link - thanks for that. Worth noting here that Massoth have measured the current draw for the loco at over 2 Amps with long trains and when rounding radius 1 curves. A bity of a power hog, this beastie!

Yes, Yes, Yes!!!!!
The deed is done, the quickest and easiest chipping I have ever done thanks to the excellent instructions from the Massoth Forum link.
Normally after fitting a decoder, I test run with the body off to see if I've got it right, this time I was so confident I reassembled the lot before testing, Spot on!!!!!!
Thanks to all for your advice
