nice video what i like to do is when i lube my model trains li like to get rid of the old lube first to ensure the area is clean then apply the new fresh oil to that particular area.

And here I thought that nickel silver was solid nickle with silver plate? No? Is it brass with nickel plate? Now I'm confused.

Can I use sewing machine oil ???

Thanks for your message. Yes you can! Or recommendation would always be one of the model train oils as they are a bit thinner, but something is better than nothing!
