lubrication of latest production Shays

[petervweimer]

Hi Mr. Bachmann. As you will remember the first production Shays in On30 lacked gear lubrication and there was a complex lubrication description on the On30GUY-page which was helpful for me to lubricate my first Shay. The latest one I got is a factory-installed Tsunami Shay (28501) which runs basically well. Not only just for curiosity my question: Do these latest production models need the comprehensive lubrication of the gear-tower as well as the early ones or is the usual light lubrification of the externally visible gears sufficient? Thanks a lot for any information...

Dear Peter,
I've run the new ones for hours on end (literally!) with only the light external lube.
Have fun!
