4-6-4 J3a Hudson Steam Locomotive 17
Maintenance
The engine should be well oiled and greased in order to run properly.
You should regularly lubricate all side rods and linkage components to
prevent them from squeaking. Use light household oil and follow the
lubrication points marked “L” in Fig. 11. Do not over-oil. Use only a
drop or two on each pivot point.

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, whichever comes first. To
access the gear box and axles, do the following:
1. Turn the engine upside down and remove the leading truck mounting screws (you will
have to remove the leading truck plate as well) to gain access to the front boiler mounting
screw. Remove that screw and the two rear boiler mounting screws as seen in Figure 13.
