Hi all,
I just opened a new train as I jump back into Model RR after about a 35 year absence. I've done a lot of reading and am excited to start building upon what I've acquired. That said, I ran into a little hiccup. I don't think it's serious, but was curious what the experts would say.
Upon opening the package, I found a bottle of clear liquid. I couldn't figure out if it was a lubricant or liquid smoke. The package contents did not state, and it felt like a it might be a lube so I put a drop on all the axles.
Had I turned the page one more time, I would have seen that it was actually liquid smoke. Having no pride whatsoever (ok, not true, but screwups like this don't really phase me), I thought I'd ask if it would be okay to run the train a few hours as is (most of the liquid has been removed) until I can get a light oil to put back on.
I've already waited a week to put this together and had hoped to get it up for in the morning.
Thanks.
