Premier Climax Steam Locomotive
10
This engine should be oiled and greased in order to run properly. The
Climax unlike conventional rod driven locomotives has many expose gears
in the drive train and on the wheels. You should apply a light coating of
grease to the exposed gears as shown in Figure 6.
You should regularly lubricate all gears, rods and linkage components and pick-up
rollers on the engine and tender to prevent them from squeaking. Use light house hold
oil and follow the lubrication points marked “L” in Figure 5. Do not over oil. Use only
a drop or two on each pivot.
