“I have a problem and I was wondering if you could help. On the BAD advice, we started out our trains with H.O. but since have switched to Lionel. I have a large amount of H.O. trains and track. The engines seem very slow, we didn’t oil them prior to use, I was disappointed and I put all the H.O. away. Now that we have the train room converted to O-Scale, I would like to take a look at the H.O. again and set that with our table, I have the room. And what type of oil do we use for H.O.? Can I use the same oil from Lionel on H.O.?????
What did I do wrong the first time with H.O.??? Do they run slow or do I need to ‘tweak’ them????”

Well, Define slow. If you mean your trains don’t run as fast as the O gauge does, that is a good thing.
New trains typically don’t need Oil, and too much oil is a bad thing.
Try running your finger or a white cloth on the rails. If it comes back with a black streak your track is probably dirty.
