lube

Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, March 19, 2005 8:23 AM

I have found a great way to lube my N-scale locos& rolling stock. My brother is a dieabetic he gave me 2 of his syringes(un used) they work great for all the tight spots and no mess. Just remember to keep them locked up.

Careful that you don't overdo it, though. The amount that an ordinary sewing needle will hold is quite enough.

These are also good for applying a bit of alcohol to various electrical contacts on turnouts, etc., I have found.
