If I was to spend that kind of money I'd definately forget the diamonds and spend it all on trains

two tone Hi Rudy, there are two ways around that problem, 1 A new hat and a day out so she can wear it. 2 a nice evening out with a meal I find that works well. Or as a last resort trade in an item so that a new unit can be purchased and say well it was a good deal. Enjoy our hobby and all wives would soonner have us out doors and not under thier feet.

Before I retired two months ago I had the ideal system. Had most of my purchases delivered to where I worked and sneak the stuff in through the side gate to my tool shed. Once in the shed it was just a short haul from there to my train shed

Hi, my 2 cents on some of it: Wahl hair clipper oil, some swear by it, some swear at it. I'm a fan. I think if you have a problem with Wahl, most likely you put way too much on. Silicon spray, I never use it around plastic, not compatible with all kinds so I don't chance it. I use Labelle's sometimes, sometimes Wahl's. I especially use Wahl's on axle ends, where it might get thrown onto the track.
two tone Hi Rudy, Try a Bachmann Consolidation I run 2 of them they are great very reliable, will pull 6/7 Jackson Sharp Coaches.

My friend,
If I was to bring in another piece of equipment of that cost my wife would most likely put her foot down right on my ..........................layout
Appreciate all the feedback on my previous 3 In One Oil post. That stuff is going to stay with the non train repair stuff for sure. I am going to try out that Wahl oil though. Another item I used before is silicone lubricant both in a spray can and pocket size oiler. I don't feel good about using it now. Bought a new can the other day and it says "for all surfaces" and the plastic test piece I used it on turned out like it had a white permanant paint job.
I got so enthused about the Bachmann Big Hauler that I opened up the Big Hauler set that I bought at OSH (OSH specific road name version) a few years ago and put it on the tracks. What a piece of junk. This engine and tender are what I call the wobbler edition. Engine wobbles up and down the track and the tender has it's own distinct wobble. Figured I could live with that as a lot of the stuff the companies sell comes as wobblers now a days. Put about five hours track time on the engine over a couple of days and now it's got the wobble and the same squeek the other one had.
Have to say that I'll never buy a Big Hauler again. The only thing I like about this set now is the yellow passenger cars even though they have the OSH logo on them.
