Reply to "How to get lubricant to axles on Railking steam loco"

What John said.  But first I would take the loco apart, remove the motor, and see if the wheels / drive rods will rotate freely.  A needlepoint oiler will help you get oil to the bearings where the axles meet the chassis.

Some of these early 2-6-0s were "sidewinders" with a small motor mounted transversely in the chassis.  On those you can probably turn the wheels with the motor connected.  Some pics might be helpful here.
