Hi have just bought 371-603

Class 42 Warship diesel D815 "Druid" in BR maroon its a great runner and im really pleased with the model. However on removing the body shell i cant see anywhere to apply oil to the gears etc every thing is hidden away  and on talking to a friend he says he's having the same problem with the class 37 . would be really grateful if somebody out there could run through a step by step plan of how to over come this its probably easy but being mechanically challenged i could do with some help
Thanks Steve

On my warship, i just carefully unclip the bogie frame, the clips are on each end of the bogie and a small screwdriver should help to release it. The gears are underneath, i believe the 37 is the same.  :thumbsup:

Top tip ! Don't use too much oil - just a pin drop will do, adding it is easy... cleaning up the oilly mess isn't !
If it's got rails... you have my full, undivided attention - Steam, diesel and electric, 'tis all good !
