LGB Fat Boy 20231.1

theres not much to do-plug the tender into the loco-select the switch -off-smoke and lights-or motor smoke and lights

be careful with the tender steps -part for these are diffcult to obtain

smoke units work best when  filled no more than half way

dont overload the engine-ive heard that some of these chinese locos have had gears crack, i believe

with moderate loads im certain there wil be no problem-
finally the lube should include the rod pins-and axles-inclusing a very obscure one that is between the drivers-it is the end of the pin whcih holds the idler-a drop into the holes on each side will help lube this piece as well 

the chinese lube imho can use a little help with real lgb grease

they are wonderfully smooth, a my 2 are prolific smokers

and while a proportional abomination, are still fun -big time loco feel in a tiny body-these look great double headed for some reason-sort of a US Mike in a tender equipped stainz sized loco
