recommend using the ROCO oiler 10906

Starting locomotive operation

The smallest radius this model should run is
R2 (358 mm) of the ROCO track system (mo-
del without tubes protecting pistons). Your
locomotive will run smoothly on clean tracks
only. For this purpose we recommend using
item no. 46400, Roco track cleaning van,
or item no. 10002, Roco track cleaning
rubber, for removing heavy dirt.
