Lubricating An Atlas Switcher To Cut Noise
Greg asks for ideas with lubricating an HO Atlas switcher.
“I have had this switcher for about 4 years and it makes a lot of noise and takes a long time to get going. Once it gets running it is okay. Can one of your readers tell me; does it need yearly lubrication, or does the factory lubricate it for life?
We live in a hot, humid South Texas climate.Do I need to disassemble the body, or can it be done another way?
I noticed two white plastic screws in the middle of the body. Is that where the body comes off from the wheels, etc.? Any help from other train buffs would be appreciated please.”
