[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Railroading_Brit</i> <br /><br />I've now done as suggested by Walthers and added some grease to the bearings on my Pullman sleeper. I used a tiny blob of "Vaseline" (petroleum jelly) in each bearing, this also seems to help with electrical conductivity -! <br />[/quote] <br />New solutions bring new problems. I have tried two products to increase the roll and temporarily <br />eliminate the squeal in my Budd passenger cars riding on IMs. <br />KD -Grease-em(Don's recommendation) and Conducta lube & cleaner that comes with a small diameter needle applicator(cleans & lubes commutators & brushes.) <br /> <br />In looking through my inventory I discovered another product; Motor bearing lube for all motor shafts. <br />Will not sling off spinning shafts or attract dust or dirt by static cling???????? so the directions say. <br />I think next time around I will experiment with this one on my worst performing car <br />. <br />Donald/Larry, comments please.
