James Bond:

Did I misunderstand?

Is the question about electrically motivated G scale locomotives that represent a steam locomotive

or

Is the question about a G scale live steam locomotive?

Ahh... reading it over, I think you are right, just saw "steam" and figured it might be live steam...

I like the Aero-car and the Hob-e-lube stuff. I have a page on lubrication that might be helpful to a beginner.

LGB conductive grease is not conductive at all.... they call it conductive because keeping moisture and dirt out of rail joiners kept them conductive...any lithium grease will do as well. I think the LGB stuff might have graphite in it.

The Aristocraft stuff is called Electralube, and is slightly conductive. It will also destroy certain plastics, see the aristo forum for this... i.e. don't use it where it can touch plastic.

Look at that aero-car NG gel lube on my site, it's great stuff, clings like a gel, lubes like an oil under pressure.

Scott, does it have moly in it?

And, I believe you, but how did you find out it does not attack plastic?
