Lubricating:
With a bit of care, your PLine NDM6 should give you many years of pleasure and reliable service.
Lubrication is of prime importance for a model of this type with moving parts. Always use quality
lubricants. This should not be a problem, for there are many modern lubricants available in hobby and
sport shops. Light oil such as Labelle #108 or Hoppe’s Gun Oil would be good enough for lubricating
most of the moving parts. For gears use a suitable gear grease such as Permatex Super Lube or
another hobby gear lubricant.
The spur gears driving each axle can be lubricated by applying grease on the gear teeth using a small
screw driver.
To access the many moving parts of this model it is best to carefully place it on its side on a soft towel
or foam sheet. A drop of light oil on every moving part is necessary, and there aren’t many on this
locomotive. Use oil that is a bit heavier to lubricate the axle bushings and pivot points of the Power
Bogies. Each Model is provided with Oiler holes on the Axle boxes of each wheel. There are 4 Oiler
holes on each Locomotive with their openings facing downwards towards the rail top. Use a drop of
Lubricating Oil to lubricate each Axle box. Be sure to lubricate all the wheel bearings, gear bearings
etc. that you can see. Do not over lubricate, for excess oil only picks up unwanted dirt. Be careful to
keep lubrication off the painted surfaces as this causes shiny areas.
The main worm gear box is lubricated in the factory and will not need any attention when you first
run your model. However, in time, you should make sure that the gears are will lubricated with
suitable gear grease.
