Suggested lubrication for c. 1950s rolling stock wheels
« on: May 16, 2020, 08:40:13 pm »
Starting to clean up my Lionel that I got as a child. most of the rolling stock wheels are gummed up. I know from other non-train items that the oils used back then did eventually dry out and leave a gummy residue. I was thinking about trying silicon lubricant, as I found that to be an excellent choice for my tools. Any suggestions, anybody, on would be a good lubricant for the Lionel wheels?
