Mr Bacmann,
The instructions that came with my On30 shay (25660) where generic, not directed to the shay. I've read elsewhere that the B-mann's G gauge shay required special lubricating, so, does the On30 also require the same? (I tried the On30 GUY site mentioned in another thread & it's not online anymore.)

Dear Riny,
Don't overlook the gears visible above and behind the cylinders, and also add a little conductive lube on the contacts where the trucks rotate.
Have fun!
