How to lubricate late 1980's & 90's Lionel G gauge engines?

We have a G scale forum.

Gee, thanks Joe.     I went up & down the forum lists a couple times before posting this here & didn't see it at all.

No wonder..... I surely looking for a forum called "HONGZ"  !!

Hasn't anyone worked with the Lionel Large Scale trains from the late 80's - 1990's?    I could use some advice on this.   Thank you.  

Sorry, I don't have any or ever worked on them. I do work on my own engines though.

Maybe something on the Lionel site?

I bet there's a couple of techs here that have been inside one. I believe they are very simple and straight forward.

I usually oil my side rods, axles at the bearing area, and any moving parts that need it. I don't have any G engines with plastic rods though.

radioron,

only been in  the gp20,  but if you have the 0 6 0, no. 101,,  the bottom plate is held on with screws, you can access motor,

Joe, thank you for the tip on linking to the Lionel Support site.   (I never would have though that they would have data on what turned out to be an odd-ball Lionel product from 28 years ago!)  I found exploded diagrams for both of my Lionel Large Scale 0-6-0 & 0-4-0 locos.  It may be a bit tricky to remove those bottom plates, though.  It looks like if you attempt to do so, a whole bunch of springs & brushes may pop out.  The diagrams, appear to show that they jut from the side edges of the bottom plates to contact with the inside of each drive wheel.  I will report back!
