I have a LGB 420 just like yours as well,i used it outside for a year or two but not everyday but only when dry,and now im useing it for under the christmas tree for first time and probably wont use it outside again.What im wondering is do i have to lubricate the motor? or just the wheel shafts and moving parts outside of the loco?.Can i just go use all purpose lubricant that i might still have for aristo craft trains?

They are water proof, and can withstand Rain. Bachmann Spectrum models can withstand Rain, but becareful with them. The geared engines are best for withstanding rain, along with the 2-8-0s, Mallets, and K-27s, but never run a Spectrum mogul or 4-4-0 in the rain because they are very fragile, and will easily corrode. The geared engines have anti-corrossion matterial and so do the LGB engines, as well as the newer Aristo Craft stuff. If you don't want water stains, it is best to clean them

LGB steam locomotives are waterproof and reliable. The Bachmann Big Haulers are good for begginers getting into the hobby but don't last long. Barry's Backshop makes a great aftermarket replacment gear box for them. The Bachmann "Annie" was a better build than the Big Hauler. The Aristo C-16 was re-designed with the new motor block from the Mikado. I own a Aristo Mallet and it runs great.

@MechaGodzilla2001 I got a whole set from Craigslist for $100. Hobby stores you can find used ones.

@MechaGodzilla2001 LGB is the most waterproof, aristo craft, Bachmann and the other trains are not so waterproof. You can get any of these trains wet (rain for example) but make sure you dry them off.
