To clear up some concerns
NO-OX-ID Special A is a conductive grease and it reduces or eliminates sparking between the train wheels and electrical pickups with the train tracks. Sparking is caused by micro, bigger track flaws and track section joints on the train track and wheels and pickups. Some believe sparking attracts dust to the train tracks and dust accumulate on the track when contacting normal oil and grease from train maintenance.

Not really...

"The black crud is near 100% pure nickel oxide. Nickel (III) oxide to be specific."

One might follow the graphite method... way easier than NO OX, but I do agree that NO OX works well. As I said before, one should consider reading the links provided before in this thread. It is very interesting and will take about two weeks to complete. However, at the end you will have the knowledge you seek.
