RailKing 6-8-6 Steam Turbine Engine
Engine-mounted PCB:
The locomotive’s internal gearing was greased at the factory and should not
need additional grease until after 50 hours of operation or one year, whichever
comes first. To access the gear box, do the following:
1. Unscrew the body mount screws as shown in Fig. 11 and remove the boiler.
2. Once the boiler is removed, you need to remove the two screws that screw
the PCB bracket to the gear box cover.
3. Carefully lift out the PCB board to access the gear box cover. Take care not
to rotate or shift the portion of the electrical component screwed to the chassis
just below the smoke unit.
4. Open the gear box cover by unscrewing the screw on the plate located in
front of the motor.
5.Use a grease tube dispenser to put a small amount of lithium-based grease
into the gearbox.
Reassemble the engine in reverse order.
