Reply to "Lionel Legacy K-4 Gear Issue"

Thanks for this VITAL LUBRICATING information RICKO and TED S, in all these years I have NEVER known about the existence of this intermediate gear shaft, and that it needs lubrication. Lucky I guess that I have had no reason to open up those gearboxes. My Legacy M1a does indeed have it also, and the recently made light 4-8-2, and the Legacy 2-8-0s built before the H-10s, and my Legacy 2-6-6-2 on the rear driver set only. My owner's manuals do not itemize this shaft and bearings as lubrication points, and it's hard to find even when knowing what to look for, sometimes completely hidden behind the drive wheel's counterweight. The H-10 manual does show a second point on the main driver rods though, to lubricate. But these bearings all have a drop of LaBelle on them now and hopefully have not sustained damage in the years till now.
