... on the body it has been stored for some time! The motor is trying to turn but it seems that the axles are gummed up with dried lubrication which now has the consistency of Golden Syrup. I read in the instructions posted online that IPA or paraffin seem to be the preferred cleaning agents so I intend to pop the wheel assembly out and clean it. I note the instructions refer to a "special grease" used to lubricate. I only have Hob-E -Lube model oil or their 'HL657 white grease with Teflon'. Is anyone able to advise which would be the best to use? I assume that being modelling products they are safe on this plastic? For information the wheel rims all have a light-ish coating of rust. I initially cleaned a small patch with a Peco track rubber with only light pressure. Also effective were a much softer, less gritty rubber that I think I bought from Helmsman Electronics.

Nothing sticks to it long term. it's like Teflon!Having built a lot of track and several turnouts I am rescuing the situation as it occurs by sliding the loose chairs out of the way, grinding off the dye with a burr to expose clean wood and then glueing the chair back in position with Evostick. It is extremely tedious and much more difficult to do in situ, but apart from ripping the whole lot up I do not see another solution.Next time it will either be plastic sleepers, or use a water based paint on the sleepers after glueing the chairs in ...
