What lubricants should I use on My Locomotives?

[Anonymous]

Hello There,

I have just brought two Bachmann Locomotives including a mogul 2-6-0 and a GE 45 tonner. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what lubricants I could use that are easily accesible to buy. ( I live in the UK. So please could anyone tell me ones i could use instead of the expensive Bachmann E-Z lubes that i could buy from a DIY store.)

Many Thanks,

Jake

Labelle sells the best lubes for model trains, you'll have to look to a hobby shop to get but they  are the best I've used. I use two grades, one light, one medium-heavy, the light for fine moving pieces, and the medium-heavy for gears and such.

I  have to agree with Vic labelle is the best , i use the oil , and grease ,which   i get when i go to train shows.  Ben
