About this item

  • 100%-synthetic lubricant, perfect for all model railroad uses!
  • Immediately begins to displace old petro-oils or sprays.
  • Plastic-safe for all plastics and painted surfaces!
  • Essentially odor-free, a pleasure to use!
  • Includes both 1/2" AND 1-1/2" needles, each with tip scabbard!


This is the synthetic lubricant that consistently outperforms all others currently available. It has incredible low and high-temperature characteristics, which is absolutely necessary for proper train lubrication but completely lacking in petroleum-based oils. Don't use them on your trains any longer! Actual oils leave sticky deposits when the short-chain molecule components evaporate over time. Real oil is made up of a mixture of long and short chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms, and under certain conditions the short-chain molecules evaporate, and the unstable molecules oxidize and break down. This leaves a sticky residue which can actually "gum up" the device it was intending to lubricate. Conventional oils also contain varying amounts of impurities, such as sulfur, waxes, and unstable hydrocarbons which are left behind as residue deposits. In contrast, synthetic oils are made using a process that re-arranges the structure so all the molecules are uniform in size, shape, and weight, an ideal phenomenon which does not occur in nature. While petroleum-based oils that are extracted from the ground must then be refined to attempt to minimize their shortcomings, synthetics are custom-designed to produce the ultimate lubricant, with inherent performance characteristics vastly superior to any petro-oil. It is perfectly safe to begin using Liquid Bearings on all your trains immediately, even if you have been lubricating them with conventional oils for years or decades. It is fully compatible with all vintage and current oils, and will eventually flush away the residue of the evaporated real oil over time. You will easily notice that all of your pivot points, slides, bearings, rollers, and gears will move easier with Liquid Bearings, especially if you have been using petroleum-based oil on them for years. The bottle is top-quality LDPE, and the stainless needle allows the application drop-by-drop, unlike some oil bottles which "drool" the oil out! Please try some!!

Package was exceptionally easy to use the oil itself was the right viscosity. Great product!

The product arrived as a leaky mess within the sealed packaging. I contacted the seller who replied immediately and sent a replacement fast. I consider this outstanding, over-and-above service. And, the product does exactly what it says it will do. Kudos!

Works well on engines, cars, switches and accessories. My log dump car was sticking and now it's smooth as butter. I used this on the engine of my first Dollar General train, and it started working better than ever. It's battery powered. If you don't want your train to seize up, lube it before you use it.

Product works well and squeaking wheels are no longer. Giving four stars because they advertise that there is no residue but even after using a very small amount there was definitely residue. When our toddler grabbed a railcar and rolled it on the carpet it left black oily lines. Not a huge deal but anytime I adjust the tracks my hands have the same residue so I would not say the claim they make is entirely true but still a good product.

I pick up old HO scale engines from junk bins and flea markets that people say "don't run." 9 out of 10 of them work fine once you to a little tinkering. This light oil has really helped out restore a few of them that were in desperate need of it.
