I swapped my Aristo 2-8-0 for the loco pictured above so that one is now in the trailer and the Aristo one is in the workshop.

Can anybody suggest how to lubricate it?

Between the 3rd and last driving wheel is a screw, there will likely be others. Thus taking wheels and valve gear off if possible should give you access to split chassis in half to lubricate much like early LGB split chassis? Beware not to loose thrust bearings if they exist?

Any serious knowledge out there please say if I am right or wrong before Mick pulls it apart.

Yeah, I did have one - there's no lube point so, as Jon says, you have to split the chassis.

I can't remember if you need to remove the con rods, but all of the chassis screws will be visible on the side of the 'brick' - there's noting hidden.
