I would recommend turbine oil or equivalent called Alpha sewing machine oil can be purchased at amazon
New Zoom-Spout Sewing Machine Oil, 4 Fluid Ounces Net, S1749, for All Sewing Machines, Spout Extends to 9 1/4" in Length
Hi only need 1 drop of oil on each axle , or one drop if needed on motor bushing, also good for gear boxes on engines!

My local train shop recommended Labelle 107. It's like the Franks Red Hot commercial: "I put that s!#% on everything"...
Well not exactly but you get the point. I use Lubriplate white for anywhere that calls for grease, and I also use Bachman conductive lube on pickup rollers.

Thank you! I just need to lubricate today with what I have and I have everything that Labelle makes. That's why I asked for recommendations for LaBelle. I'll shop later for other lubes as-needed. Thank you! Any other suggestions I'm sure will help all!
