Aristo 2-8-2 electric engine lubrication

Would be interested in hearing from anyone concerning lubrication and cleaning of the motor of a aristocraft 2-8-2, electric version that has been sitting since 2002. this engine sounds ok but has poor puling power and will blow a on board 5 amp fuse that is on to battery board, Thanks Bill

To do it right it needs to come all apart and grease all the gears and make sure it is all quartered right !

Thanks Rex, yes that goes without saying but I was just wondering if there was a way to access the motor block without removing it from the engine, thanks for your reply, Bill
