Problem solved, and a question!  What is the best lubricant to use on gears.  For steamloco side rods and bearings I have been using Ultra-lite oil (very sparingly as I absolutely abhor changing traction tires).  Will graphite lubricant work?  Is that a good choice?   Total amount spent on project: $56.00 +tax, not bad for a Proto 2K locomotive.  I now have some MU plugs, bridgeplates(think that is what they are called, the centerline metal plate that allows you to walk between locomotives), and handrails to remove and replace.
