UPS finally delivered a Crest Elite Power Supply and my very first locomotive at 6:40 this evening. I thought it would NEVER come but it's worth the wait - a Warbonnet GP38-2. It's beautiful!! It's huge!! It has lots of pieces in plastic bags and no instructions!! ... What?? OK, no problem. USAT must have put the user manual on-line like Aristo does, right? Wrong. I can't find it anywhere. If this wasn't my first loco I might have the necessary experience in the care and feeding of a new locomotive but I don't know whether it needs lubing before it goes on the tracks, where to lube it if it does need it, how to break it in, etc. And where do all those pieces go? Or do I just put it on the tracks and let 'er rip? Are USAT manuals on-line somewhere? Should I contact USAT directly to get a manual? How do I figure out where all the pieces go and how to welcome this beauty into a long and wonderful relationship? I would really appreciate it if you guys could give me some guidance. I now have all the components to run a railroad since I chose to forgo a starter set in favor of components that I'll keep using in the future. My benchwork isn't done yet but I want to see this baby running on the garage floor by tomorrow evening. I just have to get past this one hurdle. Thanks. Dan
