sport shops. Light oil such as Labelle #108 or Hoppe’s Gun Oil would be good enough for lubricating
most of the moving parts. For gears use a suitable gear grease such as Permatex Super Lube or another
hobby gear lubricant.
The brass bevel gears driving each axle can be lubricated by applying grease on the gear teeth using a
small screw driver.
To access the many moving parts of this model it is best to carefully place it on its side on a soft towel or
foam sheet. A drop of light oil on every moving part is necessary, and there aren’t many on this
locomotive. Use oil that is a bit heavier to lubricate the axle bushings, axle boxes and pivot points of the
Power Bogies. Use a drop of Lubricating Oil to lubricate each Axle box. Be sure to lubricate all the wheel
bearings, motor bearings etc. that you can see. Do not over lubricate, for excess oil only picks up
unwanted dirt. Be careful to keep lubrication off the painted surfaces as this causes shiny areas.
The main motor gear box is lubricated in the factory and will not need any attention during the first runs
of your model. However, in time, you should make sure that the gears are will lubricated with suitable
gear grease.
Thorough Lubrication of the locomotive should be done every 5 hours of operation.
