Perhaps if you told us what make and type the loco is we could help.

Can you post a little picture of the loco that would be helpful.

Re: overhaul of loco's
What exactly do you want to know. There are lots of u tube vids about serving Hornby locos or do you have a specific question. I suspect the loco are older types which are easy to service. It is normally a matter of cleaning the commutator and brushes and contacts. But if you are talking models later than 2000 on you may find it is little more difficult as they have become much more complicated to work on.
WE don't have any idea what loco you have all you said is you have the service sheets. That does not tell us what they are. The service sheet will give you the R Numbers.

The service sheet should show how the loco is assembled. Just make sure you take your time, make a note of what goes where, take pictures before during and after.
