Reply to "Is Red n Tacky Really Good to Use in Our Trains??...Maybe Not."

High adhesion grease is meant to be used on stuff like weather exposed front end ball joints that are slow moving but experience extreme pressure. The problem with it if packed into a gear box through the lubrication access hole, with higher RPM moving parts inside, is friction heat build up. It's not meant to be used in that type of environment. For those who do like it cause it sticks to the spinning worm gear well, I would remove the cover from the gear box, clean out all the original grease, then only apply it to the worm gear itself, leaving the box empty to help keep things cooler. As for myself, I like synthetic low friction grease in squeeze tubes. One caution though with synthetics, it's a bad thing to mix it with standard greases. It becomes acidic if mixed. Very important to clean out the old grease, before using, then add a small sticker to the bottom of the engine that says SYN LUBE.
