Labelle 107: Drive shafts, Motor shafts & Armature shaft.

Labelle 106: Gear's

That's what I do with my Blue Box locos they run like clockwork

I use label 107 for the pillow blocks in the gearing, but I actually use a synthetic silicone grease for the gearing. It's called super lube. Here is a link to the stuff: http://www.acehardware.com/product/inde ... Id=3506761
