  • Proper lubrication helps prevent excessive noise and wear on the wheels, axles, and moving parts of your model trains and railway infrastructure. Our premium fully synthetic lubricants will extend the lifespan of your equipment and reduce the need for costly replacements or repairs.

  • Our White Grease (10g & Applicator Brush) is recommended for all size scale model railroads. A synthetic base oil combined with Lithium and PTFE thickeners ensures excellent compatibility with all types of plastic and metal gears, bearings and drive shafts. Application is effortless (with the included brush) thanks to it's NLGI #1 thickness rating.

  • Containing NO mineral hydrocarbons, our synthetic lubricating Lite Bearing Oil is a clear, odourless oil, that can be used to lubricate bearings, wheels, axles, chains, sliding surfaces, pivots and delicate mechanisms. It has excellent plastic compatibility and is 100% hydrophobic making it ideal for lubricating and protecting metal surfaces from corrosion. 

  • Use the dropdown menu at the top of the listing to choose just the White Grease (& brush), just the Oil, or if you want both.. get the kit !

 

  • THE IMPORTANCE OF USING THE CORRECT LUBRICANTS: The gears and cogs of N, OO and HO scale model trains are much smaller than those in cars and other mechanical devices found in homes so normal oils won’t work and can even be harmful to the delicate plastics and paintwork of your rolling stock. They can also eat through and dissolve many materials used in buildings and scenery around your layout, so if you spill some it can be bad news. Our grease and oil kit is completely PLASTIC SAFE as neither our synthetic lubricants don't contain any refined mineral oils.

  • OIL APPLICATION: Aside from using the wrong type of oil for servicing locomotives, another common mistake is to swamp the bearings, gears, motors, axles and rods. Do this and it’ll run into places you don’t want it, including the motor itself and onto the rails so the train wheels just slip and slide. The oils in our kit comes in a small dropper bottle, just place the tip of the dropper bottle on the points to be oiled and squeeze a tiny drop out. Alternatively, for an even smaller more accurate application, dip a needle or straightened paper clip into the oil and apply it.

  • GREASE APPLICATION: Using the applicator brush apply it on the cogs, worm gears and coupling rods where they attach to the wheels. It can also be used to place a tiny amount in the holes where axles fit into the wheels on rolling stock. Then run the motor on a rolling road for a few minutes and apply again. If you don’t have a rolling road, run it on some test tracks for a few minutes. Failing that, please it on some tissue paper to catch any oil that needs to run off and which will otherwise fall onto the rails and then onto your track to run.
