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 valve gear
and connecting rod pivot 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. (See Fig.3).
Accessories – These may vary depending on the model
Please give consideration to permanent fixing of accessories – for example, the articulated coupling,
chain guard and vacpipes cannot be fitted if using the standard front coupling.

If your locomotive is not pre-fitted with a Decoder, to locate the DCC Ready socket, remove bogie and
chassis screw as shown in Fig.7. Gently ease forward to disengage and downwards to remove as Fig.8.
