2-8-8-2 STEAM ENGINE
The locomotive’s internal gearing was greased at the factory and should not need
additional grease until after 50 hours of operation or one year, which ever comes first.
To access the gear box, do the following:
1.
Unscrew the Grease screws as shown in Figure 3 and use an applicator to apply grease
into these screw holes.
This engine should be oiled and greased in order to run properly.
You should regularly lubricate all side rods and linkage components and pick-up rollers to
prevent them from squeaking. Use light household oil and follow the lubrication points
marked “L” in Figure 2. Do not over oil. Use only a drop or two on each pivot.
