Hello SSC forum friends! Steelwheels 33 here to give you a couple new tips on modifying your trains for better speed. There have been many different postings on how to clean and weight your trains. Give this one a try I think you'll like it.

I will be doing another tutorial on proper lubing.... As a follow-up to the thread I started in 2012. The YouTube link is below. Enjoy!

Hello all,

Please see the attached video or part 2 of modifying your trains for speed. this video tutorial covers what lubricant I recommend and also shows you how to properly apply the lubricant. The lubricant that I presented in the video is CRC heavy duty silicone spray. If you prefer to use other lubricants, some good ones would be powdered graphite and engine oil.



Stay safe.
