You should lubricate the engine and tender to prevent it from
squeaking. Use light household oil and follow the lubrication points
marked “L” shown below. Do not over-oil. Use only a drop or two
on each pivot point. Make sure you lubricate all side rods, leading
and trailing trucks and drive wheel axles.

The engine and the tender are connected by a
drawbar that is attached to the tender and
connects the engine by a drawbar pin that is
tethered to the engine cab by a chain.
To connect the engine and tender insert the
leading end of the drawbar into the slot
under the cab floor. Then insert the drawbar
pin in the hole at the rear of the cab.
To connect the engine and tender properly,
the drawbar pin must pass through the top
hole, the hole in the drawbar and the lower
hole below the engine cab.
