I had my neighbor over yesterday, ( we've both had both of our Covid vaccine shots ) to see my train room and run some trains. He has never run any trains in his life but caught on vey quickly both with conventional and TMCC. I took a lot of pictures and really liked this one. He gave me permission to share the picture.
The engine is a Lionel Y6-b 2-8-8-2, Norfolk & Western, the oil can is also N&W.
Please add a caption to this, let's have some fun.

Should be just enough when the white material begins to stain . 
Ah HA!!! Finally! Proof that N&W Y6bs were oil burners!

Is this scale?
With the move to electric cars and the resultant lower oil prices, Cosmo was able to be a bit more extravagant with his lubrication regimen!
Great captions, keep them coming.

You can't get enough of a good thing. Pour it on baby!

A great Missionary moment. 7 months to get him ready for York. Dark hair, a young one to boot. Let us know if you need help.
BTW, great prop.

Whoa, what is that? Did I miss a spot or is that glistening spot on the rod due to the over flow from the smoke unit? Better hope its the latter as I'm just about out of engine oil as I only have a pump or two left!
Alright we are ready to go now.
Allll-most got it....

I'll tell you, you never have enough lubrication
Boomer - Here's one that you'll appreciate...
"Just bought this oil can in the 'Hobby' Dept. at ACE Hardware and wanted to try it out!"
"What? The owner's manual clearly said to apply oil and that's what I'ma doin'. Why are you hollerin' like that?"

"I don't know which one of these dadburn rods is a squealin', but by God by the time I get done none of 'em will ever squeal again!"
