Looking after your model
In order to ensure that your model functions correctly over a long period, your model should
be maintained at regular intervals. The model need not be opened to do this. It is sufficient, to
place the model upside down on a soft surface, being careful not to damage the roof attach-
ments and to clean the wheel contacts using cotton buds soaked in spirits. Then clean the
wheels.
Please do not turn the drive wheels by hand in any circumstances.
After cleaning please use a drop of machine oil to lubricate the bearing points (L) and gear
parts (G1) shown in Fig. 2 + 3. Use commercially available oils and use a fine cannula or
a needle. Caution: do not use cooking oil or hand cream. It is advisable to carry out main-
tenance work after approximately 30-40 hours of operation.

The intermeshing of the toothed wheels transports the oil as far as the motor worm. However,
we suggest that you also oil the motor worm after about two or three maintenance periods.
To do this please, remove the housing from the bogies as shown in Fig. 4.
Opening your model
By inserting your thumbnail between roof corner and housing (X) you can unclip the roof
and lift upwards for removal. Now please insert a screwdriver vertically into the opening (Y1)
and move it in the direction of the arrow (2). This pushes the housing outwards somewhat.
With your thumbnail you can now maintain the distance (Z) you have created between the
bogie and the bottom edge of the housing (G). To splay the opposite housing wall, insert the
screwdriver in the opening (Y3) and move in the direction of the arrow (4). The housing can
now be easily removed from the bogie. You will now be able to see the oil hole at the top of
the gear block (G2).
