Where do you find the instructions on how to lubricate Bachmann locos. I have about 20 various locos, steam, diesel and electrics and there were no lubrication instruction with the locos. 

Everyone.... I am NOT knocking Bachmann. When your item is returned you do not expect screws to get loose and fall out. I will contact Bachmann as I should and explain what happened. I have many Bachmann steam and diesel loco and they run very good. So please these posts and replies are NOT intended to knock Bachmann. Thank you all.

Thank you Jonathan. This is a new steam loco. What you are suggesting should not apply to a new loco. The pony truck was all the way down. The screw will not go all the way down and this allows the front of the pony truck to lift up off the rails.

First: Thank all of you for responding to my post.
Update: Receive the loco back from Bachmann yesterday. No written on what was wrong or what they repaired. Ran the loco today and loco kept derailing. Pilot truck kept hoping the track. When I looked at the pilot truck the mounting screw was missing. I found the screw but I could not screw it all the way in. This is allowing the truck to raise up and cause derailments. To say the least I am not harry.

No. It ran great. Yes I am going to take the big step. I'll give it a try. Thanks again.

This loco is new. Sat for some time around 3 months. I know the wheel arrangements are different but another new loco, a 2-6-0, sat for the same amount of time and no problems. I really don't want to open the loco because I am not sure of myself. Thank you.

This is the third time I ran this loco. When I first got it to check if it ran, second when I upgraded my track plan, and third when I programmed the decoder. Why do I need to lube the loco?

Didn't find any packing material. Still have the squeal.

I purchased a Bachmann 2-8-2 dcc steam loco and I think I might have a problem. When I run the loco in the forward direction the engine starts to squeal. When I run it in reverse it intermittingly squeals. I also notice on the curves, 22 inch radius, the engine leans causing the pilot wheels to jump the track. Can anyone help?

Thank you Jonathan. Most of the cars are from Bachmann train sets. The couplers are mounted on the trucks. I think Kadee's #38 are for this type of mounting. I thought Bachmann, since they made these cars, would have an easy fix.

I want to convert Bachmann freight cars equipped with horn hook couplers to EZ Mate couplers  Any suggestions on type of coupler to use.
