Reply to "Running locomotives to keep them in good working order"

I run my pw on a rotation, I also run my PW GP, GG-1, F Units and other Diesel forward and also run them backwards, so what I'm getting at is take your F unit and make the non-powered unit run ahead, So the gears get an even wear. Accessories are on now and then, as for my MTH I run them as much as possible and I do a charge on the batteries in the summer once, when not running MTH I add smoke fluid to keep the batting soft. I have index cards for Maintenace on all my engine when serviced and what parts were replaced. As for PW steam they run forward (sometimes they get ran backwards for a short period), except for the switchers that have front couplers. Have close to 90 plus engines, and also keep wheel clean on rolling stock and passenger cars. Nice thread Arnold, nice to pick up other joe's ideas. God Speed Support your Troops.
