Lubrication
IMPORTANT – Only apply small single drops of light machine oil to the places indicated in red.
This is best achieved by making a simple oil “dropper” as illustrated in Fig.1. Insert a straightened
paper clip into a cork and use a bottle cap as a container for the oil. A small drop of oil can then be
picked up by the dropper and applied in exactly the right place. Immediately wipe off any excess
oil, especially from the locomotive and tender bodies. Only lubricate moving parts.
Apply one drop of oil to each of the points indicated
in red in Fig.2, on both sides of the locomotive.
Apply one drop of oil to each of the axle bearings indicated in red.
To remove the locomotive body
Turn the locomotive upside down and remove vac tank moulding (if fitted), by carefully inserting a small flat-blade screwdriver and using a gentle side to side action to loosen,
lever off (Fig.5). Remove screws (Figs.5a and 6). Carefully ease chassis down from the body. (The side connection pipes will detach from the body).

the articulated coupling and pipes
included in the accessory bag can be fitted.
The coupling bar
AND
articulated coupling
and pipes can all be fitted
ONLY
if the
locomotive is used for static display.
Vacuum pipes supplied will vary according to
the variant of M7 locomotive. For example,
most SR locomotives will have one vacuum
