thumb nod ...and Menards...and probably any automotive supply store.

Definitely the way to go!

Be sure to clean all the old 70-year 'grease' ( confused ) off the gears, first. There's nothing of any value left in that old dried and caked crud.

...and have a Merry Christmas, Joyful Hanukah, and prosperous, healthy, Happy New Year running thoses trains!

I also use Red-N-Tacky, hasn't failed me yet. The hardest part is getting it into my little syringes to shoot it in.
