Just had mine apart several times doing upgrades. Yes, 4 screws to get the body off (2 at cab, 2 at first set of steam chests). First though, I'd remove the front set of drivers (big flat head screw, then push down gently and slide towards rear of locomotive). I don't recall about the front pilot, but those are generally one screw if you need to remove it. I might be forgetting something, but it was much easier than I had thought it would be. It was my first upgrade on a modern locomotive, so I had it apart a dozen times getting it to all work. It does now though, and I'm quite pleased.
