Cloudy and misty good morning. Suppose to clear by noon. ??? Good morning Brit. Glad you are posting here. Not much on agenda. Still some RMSF aches.
Over on the CTT forum [O gauge if you didn't know]. Guy gave this advice. Some folks.
"I would suggest you lube it with motor oil for everything. The grease supplied with the loco will likely turn to concrete in a short time. Motor oil never dries out or gets sticky. Lionel Lube is one of the worst. It turns into concrete in a few years. Don't use 3 in 1 oil, light machine oil, sewing machine oil, lithium grease, most greases, etc. I have used motor oil for almost 60 years with good results."
