Note that the dual greasers only work on coaches with the larger bogie
pins, and not on the early models with the smaller pins. I don't
remember when it change--but I think it was sometime in the '74 model
year. The early pins only have one grease hole to feed both bushings,
so the double greaser both won't fit and won't do anything useful.
