          While we are doing all this, why not bring it into this millen-
        
        
          nium with technology?
        
        
          St. Claire’s Nano-Oil is a Model Railroad Hobbyist sponsor
        
        
        
        
        
          . They offer high-tech oil designed
        
        
          to minimize friction, reducing running current and make low
        
        
          speed operation more reliable. Well, with a switcher, what is
        
        
          more important than low speed operation? In order to take
        
        
          best advantage of the Nano-Oil (16), first the existing lubricant
        
        
          and debris must be cleaned out.
        
        
          I was initially skeptical about the claims about Nano-Oil.
        
        
          However, my experiments have shown significant improvement
        
        
          in low speed operation. Your are gonna need to lube it with
        
        
          something, why not go for the best? For this installation, I used
        
        
          only the 10- and 85- weight Nano-Oil.

          16: Nano-Oil, available in easy applicators in three
        
        
          weights.
