Take picture, make diagrams, label everything as you go, and you will soon be rebuilding things with very few left over parts !

The main things to remember, however, is taking care in dismantling and reassembling the locos and to use minimal lubricant. Also, make sure the cleaning solutions and lubricants you use are suitable for the materials and are non-corrosive and non-conductive.
