Use of lubricants on Model Railroad track is controversial among modelers. It is a balancing act between better conductivity and reduced traction. I have a DCC system and consistent electrical contact is essential for smooth operations. A few drops of CRC 2-26 on the rails makes for a big improvement. It also helps with unreliable contact between delicate copper wipers and tiny wheels. Products are sold specifically for model railroad use, but in my experience 2-26 works better and is much less expensive.

It wasn't CRC you were selling. I was a knock off brand. The lubricant appears to not have the same performance we've come to trust in CRC brand.

Seems to work good for basic oxidation. It doesn't work miracles, if you're contacts are corroded you need to fix that first.

CRC brand products are used by professionals in many trades including the automotive, electrical, electronics construction and more. CRC 2-26 is a lightweight precision lubricant that is plastic safe has almost no odor. Perfect for anything from a squeaky door hinge to electronic corrosion resistance.. fantastic for light friction metal on metal or plastic on plastic this lubricant will not leave an oily residue. CRC 2-26 is a precision lubricant unlike WD-40, which is more of a cleaner chemical. CRC 2-26 is a Super lightweight multipurpose lubricant virtually odor free and safe on plastic and metal components.

This product is an amazing electrical lubricant for sticky switches, closet light pull strings and fan on/off chains. Safe to use, non flammable.

Restores conductivity to old switches
This is a great product. Probably one of the top 10 best products I have ever found. It improves conductivity in old switches and electrical connections. For example, I have an old Maytag gas dryer which is about 30 years old. The temperature switch had an intermittent issue and mostly was not working. I sprayed this into the switch and at the blade connectors, let it dry for about 4 hours, and my dryer is now working like new. It starts heating immediately like it should.

Does what it's supposed to do. And it comes in a small contianer which I can keep in my motorcycle saddlebag for whenever I need to lube a switch... or whatever might need it.

This lube is very effective and economical solution for reconditioning electronics. I also recommend the contact cleaner from CRC also for cleaning all noisy pots beforehand.
