The two important tools to use in caring for locomotives are the monkey wrench and the oil can. In other words, if the parts are kept properly adjusted and oiled and the nuts tight, the locomotive will keep in good condition and cost little for maintenance.
Keep the locomotive clean, particularly the wearing parts, because the grease that accumulates on them holds grit and increases the wear.
Neglect of small adjustments makes big ones necessary.
All locomotive parts will wear, however carefully made and cared for, and it will be noticed that ample provision has been made in the construction of the Shay locomotive for taking up wear in every way.
It is possible, therefore, to keep a Shay engine that has been in service a long time in good adjustment and free from lost motion.
A few minutes a day is enoughbut it must be each daynot lumped together at the end of the month.
