Reply to "Red n Tacky vs Multi Purpose Grease and others"

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.

I'm sure Lou. It was my fault for posting a "scare" topic ( not my intent), partially a result of a failing Legacy locomotive gearbox that was more likely a manufacturing/ material flaw. ( you may recall that thread as well)

I looked everywhere for the specifics regarding the corrosion, but had no luck, before I posted that original topic.

I know what 140 degress feels like, as thats what my home water heater is set at.

If my die cast steamer was 200 degrees, my fingers would leave burned skin on the shell eek ....
