keeping trains running

[Lester Perry]

I use nothing except running trains on my rails. I do occasionally use bright boy where there seems to be a problem. I have plastic and metal wheels. I do have trouble in some switches (turnouts) which are usually Atlas. Peco I have no trouble with. Locomotives which refuse to run used to be taken out of service & put into a desk drawer which is the same as the abyss. They now receive a TCS keep alive, it is like carrying a c.p.r. in the locomotive. I have a rather large layout with close to 500 cars and around 50 + locomotives. Oh yea, i at one time swore by Wahl clipper oil. but no longer need it. Why? I don't know.
