Hi all,
Need your help on a "should I" "shouldn't I" situation regarding oiling the external rods, joints and drivers on a HO brass locomotive.
Surely metal on metal can't be good over a long time.
Not that I'm running it at hi speed, never would, or for 3 hours of constant running every day.
I've thought of using the Labelle oil, a very very small micro drop in the piston area, drive rods connecting to the wheels, etc....
Wheels are painted so would do so only with extreme care and only after a few of the seasoned experts weigh in on the subject.
The model I have is a Toby, 4-8-4 CN Northern.
Thanks for all your help.
Heath
