I asked this question on the Bachmann site but couldn't get an answer. The K-27 comes with excellent info on lubricating the running gear, but what about lubricating the gearbox?

Has anyone lubricated the gearbox of the K-27?

Yes.

That is not a big surprise.....

Anyway, my mind set is that if it should move, then lubricate/grease it.

Good answer It is easy to get at the gearbox to do? What type of lubricant do you use?

If it has gears and moves lube it. A little pm goes a long ways. Later RJD

The problem is pulling the gearbox back up when it falls away, and aligning the pins on the seals.
If you don't, you'll lock it solid.
