Okay, Thank you for the link also.  I will get some ordered.  Trainworld has it too so I'll get it from them as it's convenient.

My layout is point to point instead of a closed loop so the cars don't get a lot of mileage in comparison, but I still feel better safe than sorry.

Thank you again,

I got the impression the motor oil was supposed to be light.  I had a look at Trainworld and the Labelle lubricants they have available.  Perhaps the Labelle 108 oil?

Thanks again,

Thank you for your reply

What I have on hand is from Aero-Car.  I believe I bought their large scale set years ago.  So it sounds like the ACT-2112 Motor Bearing Lubricant would be the one to use here?  The instructions that came with the set recommend that one for for things like side rods and valve gear.

Thank you,

Hello,

I was just wondering if the large scale roller bearing trucks, the ones on the Evans boxcar and the ones packaged separately as parts, have their journal bearings lubricated at the factory.  I have assumed that they do but there's always that alternate reading of assume.

Thank you
