Hey Carl, I can't stress enough how easy those old Athearns are to rebuild entirely, they are VERY simple. Just tinker, you'll get it running like a top in no time.
However, *just in case* you need them, here are the instructions for that particular model:

Let us know how you make out with that, nice engine!
