Hi, I am near the end of the chassis work on a 2-6-2 GWR tank in 5”.
Before I move on to the upper build I would like to put axle lubrication in but I’m scratching my head for the best sites around the loco for the oil boxes. Front of the side tanks looks good for the leading axles but what about for the rear axle, in the cab perhaps ?

Interested in knowing how others have tackled this
