I use Labelle products also.
Never had any problems with plastic compatability.

| Hey Ken, I buy a LaBelle "3-pack" that has 102, 108, and a tube of 106 grease. It also has some plastic tubing included to go on the ends of the bottles if needed. By the way-Just got back from my trip on the Heartland Flyer from Oklahoma City. Was a very pleasant trip, although Amtrak managed to fall behind 30 minutes on a 2 1/2 hour trip! I'll post some pics of the art-deco Santa Fe station in OKC, which is still used. Chris

Ken,
I use Super Lube almost exclusively, but I purchase it in bulk so that it's far cheaper than those 1/4 oz. pen oilers that don't even have needle tips. I pour it into a small bottle with the needle applicator.

The grease is fantastic, and much better than the Labelle teflon grease, which is quite thick and actually adds resistance.

Check to see how the loco runs when it arrives. It's well lubed with it.

will do NickelPlate759,i asked because we have very little here regards oils and greases,at least what you can find,hornby nothing,bachmann uk nothing,ken
uk stockists stock only what sells in bulk or as they say it sits on shelves for months?i think its to force you to send it for services
