Is there any information available on Lubricating the G-Scale 0-4-0 Side Tank Porter Locomotive?

Dear Frank,
Use plastic compatible lubricants like our EZ Lubes. There is a lube port on the bottom plate; remove it to apply the gear grease. Use heavy gear lube on the gears and axles, Light lube on the valve gear, and conductive lube on the wheel treads and backs.
That's all there is to it! Just don't over lube it.
Have fun!
