I brought that up on the forum some time ago as I ran across that potential problem mentioned on an industrial lube article.

It was discussed, and the consensus seemed to be that the additives only become corrosive at high temperatures., I.E. 200 degress and up.

Since model train gearboxes do not get "hot" it was deemed a non issue.

Heres the thread if your interested: https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/...or-our-trains?page=2

Pat, @harmonyards, has locomotives lubed with automotive grease with 1000s of hours and 1000s of scale miles of operation. Brass worm gears are like new. He'd know if the grease would kill brass/bronze worm wheels.
