Thanks for all the tips. That Athearn web page is great. Everybody has slightly different methods--that's fine. Main thing is to understand what you're trying to accomplish and do it the way that makes sense to you. The Tyco models are an F-9 (1976) and a GP-20 (1979). The F-9 has the power-torque motor, and I actually still have the sheet that came with the layout set explaining where to lube (recommends 3-in-1 oil, doesn't show how to clean gears though). The GP-20 looks like it is pretty much sealed at the factory, but there are a couple holes where you can see the gears. I guess I can just drop a little oil in there. Thanks
