Preparing the Locomotive & Cars For

Operation

Before you run your locomotive, you  must oil the locomotive.

Lubrication

Before you run the

locomotive, use a light

household or hobby oil to

lubricate the gears.  Apply

a small drop of oil (a

pinpoint oiler will help

place the right amount of

oil where you need it) to

each of the points

indicated by figures 8 and

9.  You may also want to

use either a locomotive

repair cradle or an old

towel folded over to

provide a protective bed

for the locomotive shell

while you’re working on it.

Also functions as a binding post.
