Description
The Labelle 1001 HO Oiler Starter Set bundles three of Labelle's plastic-compatible lubricants into one kit — everything you need to keep an HO scale locomotive fleet running smoothly and quietly. Regular lubrication is the single cheapest way to extend the life of your locomotives: it reduces motor wear, quiets gear noise, and keeps drivetrains running freely so engines pull better and draw less current.
Labelle lubricants are the hobby standard for a reason — they are 100% plastic compatible, so they will not craze, soften, or attack the delrin gears and styrene shells found in modern model trains. This assortment covers the three jobs every locomotive needs: oiling bearings and axles, greasing gear towers, and general drivetrain maintenance.
What's in the Package
- Three Labelle plastic-compatible lubricants selected for HO scale locomotive maintenance (oil and grease types with precision applicators)
How to Use
- Apply oil sparingly to axle bearings, motor bearings, and side rod joints — one small drop per point
- Use grease on gear teeth inside gearboxes and gear towers
- Wipe away excess; over-lubrication attracts dust and grime
- Re-lubricate periodically based on running time
Compatibility
- Safe on all plastics, including delrin gears and styrene bodies
- Suitable for HO locomotives and rolling stock from all manufacturers
