Thank you for the tip, Jeffrey. I just placed my online order for a tube of "Never Stall" and can't wait to see the improvement on my layout. Best wishes, ...
Hello Eileen, One further observation...it only takes a very little amount of Never Stall liquid on wipers and turnout point contacts. It is easy to apply too...
