clean and oil F9 locomotive
«

I have a Bachmann F9 diesel, approximately 25 years old. I am pretty sure it has never been cleaned or lubricated, so I am trying to do so. I am having difficulty removing the rear truck and motor assembly from the chassis. I unscrewed all visible screws but it will not pull out. I am nervous to fiddle too much for fear of breaking anything. Any suggestions?

The instructions sheet, which includes how to remove the motor, can be found here:

If at first you don't succeed, throw it in the spare parts box.

jbrock27 it just sounds rough when it runs; plus I've neglected it in the past when cleaning/lubing other locomotives.
Len thanks for the link.

Yep.
Len's
a terrific resource
I like to use fishing reel grease (just a little) in the gears and use oil for metal parts that need lubing. The grease has PFTE in it and is safe for plastics. WalMart and KMart carry it-grey tube, inexpensive.

Thanks for the recommendation. I use an Atlas lubricant I purchased from a hobby store some years ago. So far I'm pleased with it.

Been using Labelle's line of lube products for 40 years; no beefs.
