What grease do you use and prefer? Whether new or used, I strongly recommend proper lubrication before getting them on the rails to ensure a long service life.
@@williamkolina3988 I bought them some time back in an auction, William, but I don’t think they came directly from Tony’s actual collection. I did try to buy some when his collection went to auction but everything I liked brought a lot more than I could justify spending.
I've never been to Hilltop Hobbies, but have been to Ormandy's in Medina before he moved the store to its new location. Maybe I should go and check out the new store. He's a decent fellow.
@@darrenhenricks5472 Thanks Darren. No getting around how loud Fastrack can be. I rarely run the trains over 15 scale mph, and even then it’s a lot of racket. If I could start all over, I’d use Atlas or Gargraves.

Good information Steve and nice smooth running units going through some nice scenery.
Appreciate it Dave. They spent way too much time on my shelf
Great looking locomotives! Some fantastic advice!👍
@@TwistedMacGyversTrains thanks Mac! I love the look but they will probably fall victim of the weathering bug at some point
Good to know...and great layout shots ! Thanks Steve 👍
@@jimmelchin1531 glad you enjoyed it, Jim. Had a good time running this consist.
This video very helpful ! Just purchased several used MTH PROTO 2 diesels. Never thought of checking gear box grease.
@@Thomas-y8r8i gearbox grease, oil the idlers, check battery (BCR is better) and enjoy them!
Good information.
Thanks for sharing.
Nice locomotives

Did you get those consolidated waste cars from the Tony Lash collection?

Have you ever done videos on hilltop hobbies, or the train store in Medina?

Check to see if you can afford the setback and most of all leave something for groceries.
Ok thanks for visiting
Nice layout
What do you do to deaden the noise from fastrack ?
