very little maintenance is required from the owner. It is recommended that
all moving parts (idler gears and axles) be oiled after 25 hours of operation.
The locomotive is comprised of two precision can motors and two drive
trucks whose outside idler gears should be lubricated with household oil to
prevent squeaks and enhance performance. A drop or two of oil on gears
