Like John stated in a earlier post a quart of Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 5W-20 motor oil will give you a lifetime supply of oil for your trains. I only use LaBelle 106 grease for the gears and still have 2 bottles of LaBelle 107 synthetic oil but when they're empty i'll refill them with Mobil 1. I can't say anything about Slick 50 but before you buy anything be sure it's plastic compatible and don't attack the paint. Remember if you're willing to pay 4 digits for a locomotive a couple of extra dollars for safe lubricants won't hurt.
