Where do I need to lube this engine?

Pull the shell and put a few drops of LaBelle 102 gear oil. A lot of lub is not better. Proper lub is just a film of oil. The gear oil is thick enough so it will not flow.
Right now I suspect this is one of those set models, a diesel which probably has the pancake motors. Many of those where not very good runners. Your mileage may vary.

Just looked it up, seems to be a GP40. Sometime ago Bachmann went from the pancake to single motor in the center of th loco.

It is a dual motor. The engine pulls good for a boxed  set. I have an expensive dual motor engine 2-10-2 and it will on stay on the track. The front 2 runoff every curve. They rest stay on track all the way. They are in gauge and the track is too. Everything else I run on it works fine and runs all day without indecent. Curves are 54' diameter in perfect radius according to the track gauge.  I have it in storage as no time to figure it out, And my main setup is in O gauge.

this should be posted in the williams section, or the general section. 3 rail o guage and HO locomotives are completely different beasts.

I was talking about HO., I have and HO N and O setups, O being by big one with 375 of track laid on outer circle.
