Loco-motion lubricant

 

When I dragged my Hornby chassised Smallbrook Studio bodied loco out of the display case, where it had sat for year, to do some work on the NG7 layout, it occured to me that I probably ought to lubricate it. 

Not long ago, John from Deluxe, pressed a bottle of Loco-motion oil in my hand, singing its praises. Now, I'm naturally cynical about this sort of thing, but the loco has done many hours smoothly running around the layout, and I'm inclinded to say this stuff works. OK, there isn't a non-lubricated loco to test it against, but this chassis is running better than any "Smokey Joe" based model has any right to. 

Impressed, so far, yes.
