    Lubricating the Trolley Car Before you run your trolley car, you must lubricate it to prevent squeaking and premature wear. Use a light household or hobby oil to lubricate the gears, truck block bronze bushings, and pickup rollers. Apply a small drop of oil (a pinpoint oiler will help place the right amount of oil where you need it) to each of the points indicated below.

    Assembling RealTrax® Unlike other O Gauge track systems, each RealTrax section features a realistic built-in roadbed base, solid nickel-silver track rails, and realistic railroad ties, all designed to give the owner an authentic looking track system. In addition, each RealTrax track section uses quick-connect connectors instead of track pins or railjoiners to assemble lengths of track.
