Hi all,

What do you guy's use for using lube for the Lionel 385E Loco. I cleaned it all out

the grease was thick a cakey, wonder what you use on your Standard gauge trains?

Thanks

Lithium grease lightly on the gear teeth of the motor and wheels, and any synthetic motor oil on the axle bearings, armature shaft, and gear shafts. It's amazing stuff.

tinguy,

New tech meets old school many times. I prefer, Lucas' Red n' Tacky for gears and such. I also use, Lucas' Gun Oil general light duty applications. There are many opinions.

God Bless,

Pappy
