Grease for gear boxes

I am using Labelle 106 on my N scale engines, I take a toothpick and get about a 1/4 sized BB of lub and place it on the worm gears at each and then 1/2 that amount on each truck gear. I usually keep the shell off and then run them up and down the trak to get the lub covering the gears, but to be honest I can't see it after applying. I then run them for about 20 minutes each direction. I have noticed the noisy engines quieted down greatly, and the slow start was improved. <br /> <br />I am always worried I will add too much and muck up the works. Like with weathering I think you would always start with less and add as needed. <br /> <br />My way is probably the wrong way though, since that's how I do everything [:)]
