hi,,,, everyone! i'm new at this so if i ask a bunch of silly questions do'nt be surprised.
last week i bought two new starter train sets off ebay.both are bachmann. one set has a emd ft locomotive. the other has a 4-8-4 steam locomotive. i have already set them up and tryed them out.
my first question is about the geeasing and oiling them. i want even my cheap set's to last for awhile. the manual does not tell much about this. it just say's to oil and grease. not how often and how too.
if anyone can answer these questions,,,, i'll be sure and have more.
for now i'm reading ever thing i can about model railroading trying to learn as much as i can. i already have some ideas, and i'm sure i'll come up with more as i go along.
i have already read some of the post's on this forum and learned a great deal. so all the help and advice i can get will be well received.i am hoping this new hobby i'm stepting into will be long and happy. at 51 years old,,,,i still like to play and have fun.
everyone just call's me "doc"
