May I know where do the following parts fit in and how to fix them? 2. Is it mandatory to lubricate the cars before we use? That is what the packaging box says and I don't have a Marklin lubricating liquid 3. Can I use my "Start up" or "My world" engines to pull these passenger cars? My worry is that the traction tires might wear out quickly. Regards, Madhu

Just plug the parts in. Re 2: I'd recommend lubricating them. Any MRR fan needs some sort of oil (Fleischmann, Roco, Faller, Märklin, ...). Re 3: Why not? If the wheels start slipping, you will need a heavier loco.

What about the two "T" shaped pieces? Also I need to buy Maerklin lubricant. Or is there any other commercial product that MRRs recommend? Something like grease or petroleum jelly types? Regards, Madhu

Regards, Madhu If the wheels are running on plastic bearings I would suggest you see if there is a shop near you selling radio controlled cars. There is a grease for using on plastic gears, and they should be able to supply a small tube of it. You need just the merest smear of grease on the axle or the needlepoint bearing where it rubs on the plastic.

		Best regards. Luis.

Thank you kiwiAlan and Luis for the input. Now that is an affordable option. Sewing machine oils for wheels and good quality grease for cog wheels. Lovely! Thank you! Regards, Madhu

Lovely! Thank you! Regards, Madhu Just be careful with oil on plastic parts, as it can affect the plastic. That is why I recommended the grease for plastic gears to use on the wheels if they are in plastic housings (which most modern production is these days).
