Best oil conductive for MTH trains

Why are you looking for conductive oil?

We carry the complete line of Excelle Lubricants, which is a forum sponsor. They are all synthetic and all conductive and are manufactured here in the USA! See the complete line under the menu at www.megasteam.com.

John because I understand the center roller on engines requires conductivity so there is no voltage loss from, the roller riding on insulated or nonconductive oil, have heard that from quite a few people.

Is there any truth to what I have been hearing.?

I use Deoxit-D5 on my rollers with standard motor oil, I've never been disappointed in the conductivity.

The HO repair guys at the large club swear by Bachmans conductive oil.  They actually use it on the commentator of HO motors, besides axle lubrication.  G

Atlas Conducta Lube (sic) is made specifically for this application. Most good trains shops carry it.

I use a Wurth product similar to GRJ's Deoxit-D5. I also use it to lube my 2r rail premier axles and bushings at the trucks. It leaves a slight oil residue after process cleaning. My local Guitar Center store has the D5

Sooooo Alan,  Asking which is the "best" around here will get you a list of BEST.  G 

Yes I seeeeeeeeeee what youuuuuuuuu mean George!

Thanks for all the support

Alan

everyone have a nice weekend!

Rail zip, I use it on the tracks and to increase conductivity on the pickup rollars

Why not use crc 2-26?  Seems like that would work no?

I picked up an Excelle Lubricants kit at the local NMRA train show this past weekend.

What do you guys use the white grease for, gear boxes, siderods, axles???

I use 10-30 motor oil on rods and axles, Red-n-Tacky on gearboxes.
