I agree with Marty and John. I've seen few gearboxes with adequate grease. In most cases the grease is in a blob stuck to the side of the gearbox and not even touching the gears.

Mth suggests adding .5-1.0 ml of grease in the gearbox. This seems to be a good guide.

As far as break in goes. After lubing, I'll run the loco by itself forward for 5-10 minutes and then reverse 5-10 minutes.

During this time I watch for any issues that may require a warranty repair.
