I was having trouble with my SW7 also in reverse, found 'Help with new SW7' , thank goodness.   I did determine the small screw on the bottom of the Trunk toward the inside, not the large toward the outside is to lube up the gear box.  I used the same tube of grease I used on the grease hole on my steam engines for the gear box.  The front took 1 application the rear truck took 2, with a run in between to spread the grease around.  If your not sure about the correct screw loosen it several turns only then see if the truck has more vertical play, if it does WRONG SCREW, tighten it back up.

Hey David,  in your comment about adding grease to the gearboxes, what do you mean by an "application?"

Also, what kind of grease did you use, and how did you get it down the grease port to the gearbox?
