The hardest part for me was getting the boggies back in and the pickups touching the frame, took me about 1/2 an hour. Thanks for a great video worked a treat.
Job well done. Lucky you found all that room inside the 66. I've done a few and have had to file off quite a lot of the chassis to make room for the decoders. I use the Lenz wired decoders, the smallest I found and while my other locos are all controlled by similar Lenz decoders, I find that they are easy to program and all work fine for me. Again, job well done. Now to go start my latest acquisition, a class 37 :)
This was exactly the video I need to convert a 66! Thank you very much for putting this to video. Decoder ordered, hopefully I can get to it this week.
I'm so pleased you have found it useful and you have managed to do your own conversion . i use a Dremel 3000 and a small MiniCraft which Ive had for many years , cant recall where I purchased

Very well-done video, Geoff. Great walk-through and trickier with N than HO/OO for sure! Nice master class!
Many thanks Antony as always , Geoff

Thanks Geoff on your advice on DCC conversation. Using your video just done a GNER 91 . Can I ask you where did you get your little Dremel from
