Lubricate the following with oil:

- Axle ends that go into the side truck frames

- Main axle shaft behind the wheels & motor block

- Contact point where the truck frame meets the main frame of the engine

 

The first two should eliminate any squeaks.  From there if the engine has been heavily used then you could look at removing the motor block from the frames and possibly grease the gears inside.  (Re-greasing the gears inside is something you would look at doing only very infrequently and have to make sure you dont over-grease and create more friction.  You could also add a small dab of oil on the motor shaft where it goes into the motor itself.
