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.
