Lubrication Points
Thank you for purchasing this Weaver Nickel Plate Road 4-6-4 steam locomotive. Our 1/4" scale brass reproduction is highly detailed
and designed for years of operation on your O Gauge or O Scale pike. Weaver steam locomotives are completely compatible with most other O
Gauge and O Scale engines, rolling stock, and accessories. Refer to this manual for information about your 2-Rail and 3-Rail Weaver Nickel Plate
Road 4-6-4 Hudson.
Traction Tires
Two of the drive wheels of this locomotive are equipped with traction tires. These traction tires provide for maximum pulling capability of
your locomotive. An extra set of traction tires are included with your engine (3-Rail models only).
Before You Use Your Engine:
This 4-6-4 brass steam locomotive is tested and greased before leaving the factory and is ready-to-run on your layout. However, it is
recommended that all moving parts on this engine are lubricated lightly upon the first initial use and after a heavy or extended period of use, in order
to enhance performance. For specific lubrication points please refer to the diagram in Figure 1.
Maintaining Your Engine:
As with all our Weaver steam engines, this locomotive is designed so that very little maintenance is required from the owner. It is
recommended that all moving parts (side rod linkages and axles) be oiled after 25 hours of operation. On heavily used engines, bearing grease (or a
similar lubricant) should be added to the gear box, located between the blind drivers on the drive train. To add grease, remove the two small Phillips
screws on the inspection cover and insert the grease using a screw driver. For specific greasing points, please refer to the diagram in Figure 2 on
page 2. Reassemble and run the engine as normal.
Operating Instructions For The TAS Fan Driven Smoke Unit
Your locomotive is equipped with the most state-of-the-art smoke unit available today. The TAS fan driven smoke unit is equipped with an
auto shut off circuit that protects the smoke units longevity by constantly monitoring the temperature of the heating element. Even if you run your
smoke unit without smoke fluid the auto shut off circuit will prevent damage from occurring to the unit. This system ensures years of enjoyment with
no maintenance.
