That's not a br 23. It looks like a br 01, 03, or 001. On every Trix based Marklin I have, you remove the boiler or body shell, and there are either an exposed worm gear on the motor or under the crdan shaft covers. Those have holes in the top of the decoder or pcb board to lubricate. On some, you unscrew the boards,a nd just lift up a bit to get to the gear.
Every later model Loco. has a manual on the Marklin site.

Unfortunately they don't have a manual to download. You are clearly not acquainted with Trix Fine Art locos. These are quite different to the normal production locos in that they are hand built brass items, with limited production quantities and much more expensive than the normal production items. But having noted all that, I am surprised that a Br23 has been done as a Fine Art loco. That product line was kept for quite exotic items with few prototypes. The product description is quite interesting - note the last sentence ... Quote:
Model: Era II, handcrafted model made of
brass with a smoke box door that can be opened, 8-pin digital
NEM interface in the tender. Illuminated dual headlights at the front and rear, changing with the direction of travel, driven by a bell-shaped armature motor
with a flywheel mass in the boiler, 3 axles driven via coupling rods, 2 traction tires,
NEM coupler pockets included as a retrofit kit.
Length over buffer 265 mm
The smallest curve radius that can be negotiated is 547 mm.

Every later model Loco. has a manual on the Marklin site. This is a brass locomotive made by Trix fine art series. You can see the letter of BR23 printed on the cab. The wheel configuration in this locomotive is 2-6-2 not the same as 4-6-2 in BR01or BR03. The chassis apparently is more detailed than the products of Marklin and Trix in general.
