I have a small number of the early Williams brass locomotives - a Penn Shark, (both A and B units) and a NYC Hudson. My question is are there maintenance sheets still available for these units. These units run well but need the typical maintenance that any model requires - oil, etc.

Thanks for any info that you can supply.

Thanks for the information on the worm drive lubrication. There are 2 screws located between the pickup rollers that when removed expose the worm drive - lubed this and it appears to have solved most of the gear noise problem.

Again, thanks for your help.

To all of you reading the Bachmann message board - I need your help. I have recently purchased 2 Williams brass locomotives. One is the NYC Hudson (4-6-4) made in the middle 1980s. The second is a brass PRR BF-15, (Baldwin Shark). Both run great but... Lubrication information would be great especially for the Hudson. Without some sort of "guide" I don't want to create more of a problem taking apart a nice loco just to try to lube the worm drive. I've seen it done too often - a nice loco made a mess of.

I would like to acquire maintenance manuals/owner manuals for each of these units. I have checked with Bachmann/Williams and they said that they didn't have these manuals. I've looked on the internet - no luck. Do any of you have them? I don't need originals - xerox copies would be fine.
