What is the correct or best way to lube an MTH steam engine? They have little screw holes below each axle of the driving wheels marked "grease" I have greased them this way in the past. However, recently one of my MTH steamers came up with a stripped or worn main gear on a drive axle. Apparently the gear was not getting enough grease the way I was doing it. Is it necessarly to take the boiler off the chasis and open the gear box to do a proper job? I hate doing this because you run the risk of damaging wiring or something else every time you disassemble the engine. The engine in question is a 4-8-4 Premier Santa Fe Northern.
