[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by mtrails [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by AntonioFP45 Hello Mtrails. Thanks for the tip though. What exactly is 2-26??[/quote] I know there are other locos that are noisy, but Athearns are talked about the most. I have old and new (none of them Genesis) that were noisy. 2-26 is an electrical lubricant, which improves conductivity, repels moisture, and helps prevent corrosion. [/quote] It's actually very similar to non-conductive WD-40. We use a lot of it, and a lot of Liquid Wrench, a little Gibbs, some As Seen On TV (PB B'Laster) and some Bolt Buster (really cheap stuff). All of them are very similar really, some just foam more than others, or are lighter or heavier or non-conductive so they meet different needs. Bolt Buster smells alot like Vanilla Ice Cream when it burns. (don't ask) I think the biggest problem with this is, the carrier will slowly evaporate, and as the lube that's left sits there, it'll slowly distribute and disappear, so I think you'll probably have to re-do it pretty often.
