Locos are taken apart and thourghly cleaned once a month or as needed, and are lubricated as I reassemble them. Frieght cars are maintenanced once every six months or as needed. First, I remove the trucks,and lubricate the bolster and I remove the wheels and oil the axle ends. Passenger cars are handled with three different procedures. For aluminum cars, I poli***hem once a week and remove the trucks and lubricate the bolster and axle ends. <br />Lighted coaches, unless aluminum, aren't polished but taken apart and all wiring connections are checked and the truck bolsters and axle ends are oiled. <br />Heavywieghts and old time style coaches are maintained, unless lighted, are given the same treatment as frieght cars. <br />Track is cleaned before and after ech session or as needed. All electrical connections are checked twice before and after each session, and all problems are dealt with immediately.
