Train Set Maintenance Instructions
Proper locomotive performance requires regular attention to
lubrication. The following guidelines should be followed to ensure that
your set’s locomotive lasts for many years of operration
Oil
Before operating the locomotive, apply a small drop of oil to lubricate
the side rods and pick up rollers. Use light household oil and apply
sparingly only to the points indicated by Figure 14. Wipe away any
excess, especially if oil spills onto the finish of the locomotive. To
prevent accidental scratches or other damage to the locomotive shell
while you are working, you may want to place the locomotive in a
repair cradle or an old towel or other cloth folded to provide a firm but
soft resting place.
