You don't need steam oil for a toy steam engine. Sewing machine/gun/light household oil will work just fine. Mostly you just need water in the boiler and light off the fuel to make it go.

Sounds like it is a German made Wilesco Old Smokey.

Personally I don't like 3 in one oil for an applacation like that.It has a tendancy to varnish up.3 in one is good only for hinges and junk like that.Use the sewing machine oil or gun oil.
