Oil or grease

[burnthebox]

HI ALL, WHO ON HERE KNOW'S WHICH IS BEST TO USE WHEN SERVICING A LOCO. I'VE BEEN TOLD NOBODY USES GREASE ANYMORE NOW BUT AN OIL INSTEAD. ANY SUGGESTIONS VERY WELCOME, I WAS TOLD THIS WHEN I TRIED TO BUY HUB-A-LUBE RECENTLY, WHICH MODEL RAIL HAS COMPARED VERY WELL TO OILS IN A RECENT ISSUE,

I've used the Hob-E-Lube thick oil with good success. http://www.mikronmodelrailways.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Woodland_Scenics_282.html

Thanks Broithe, I don't doubt that, but when I tried to get it I was told as I have said it's not used anymore for model loco's, so I had to settle for an oil, I got Peco Power-Lube PL-64, seem's to be ok at the moment

A lot of the modern plastics are virtually self-lubricating and 'slightly more than nothing' is all they need..
