Aye as u know, I just got one of these myself!! I have no lubricants at the moment- and the part you said that NEEDS it seems to be what’s holding it back from being a decent runner at best. The motor runs great! I tested it without it conneacted to the wheels.
I think working on them is more fun than running them sometimes. Nice job showing the mechanical aspects of your Rivarossi y6b. The weathering looks good too, did you weather it or did it already have the weathering? You sure have the most variety of Labelle lubricants I’ve seen.
Oh thank you so much on yet yeah it's been a really enjoyment project to get this one finished I have another engine quite similar to that I love my articulated power
Depends on the age of the locomotive, yearly is okay for new locomotives even two is usually okay with them, with locomotives over 20 years old I recommend every 6 months
Those front handrails exhibit some mighty fine workmanship....oh yeah...
Oh thank you I appreciate that
