Coca Cola Christmas Train

From what I've read you are talking about the "B" unit correct?  I am not sure if the Bradford Exchange uses powered B units or not but it can be easily checked by removing the shell, remove the fuel tank and there are 4 screws holding the shell on. Lift the shell off and you will have your answer. The chassis is thee same as the "A" unit so if it is a dummy this would explain the weight of the unit. I have a "B" unit I removed the motor from one to run a ABBA with the first A & B unit only one's powered.

And alternative to the "hobby" oils mentioned earlier is modern sewing machine oil. The modern stuff is safe for plastics, it often comes in a plastic bottle, and light enough for HO trains. If you have a very old can of sewing machine oil laying around, it may not be plastic safe.

There's his product label. Says right on it that it may damage certain plastic surfaces.

I wonder how many people actually read the fine print on things?

Thanks to everyone....lubricant than wd 40.

You're welcome.   Just for your info, WD-40 is less of a lubricant than it is a chemical to remove water.  The WD stands for "Water Dispersal".  An aerosol that lubes is something like, Silicone spray.

To clean track, I like to also use Wahl Clipper oil, applied with a Costmetic/Makeup Q-Tip (leaves no fibers like a common Q-Tip).  Excess can always be wiped up with cotton cloth, one that does not leave threads or fibers.

You're spot on as usual; I wonder how many people read period.  LOL

Mr. jbrock27 wasn't being sarcastic, he was making a valid statement.  A few to be exact.
