A small hint: When you try to put it back together, mount the drivers cab in the upper housing, then it slips back on much more easy.
The method is not described in you user manual, but the openers is shown in the parts list (no 15 in the online partslist for 62841)

This makes me wonder if my manual is incorrect, and you and your manual are correct. And yet the cover of my manual says it is for articles 62840, 62841, 68840 and 68841. What do you think, should I take a chance and undo the four screws on the underbody and see if the body lifts off?
Klaus Mikkelsen wrote:Closer to the center of the locos, than the screws, there is a hole in each side. If you look into the hole, you can find a small slot where the screwdriver fits into. The "thingie" is hinged in one end, the end pointing away from the middle of the loco. So the other end can be turned outwards and then it will spread the housing a bit, so you can get it off.
