Why you'll like them

A flange lubricator is a grease reservoir alongside the running rail, with a feed line across to an applicator on the rail head. They go where flange-to-rail contact wears the rail hardest, so a few on the approach to a curve, rather than out on straight track, is a small touch that makes the lineside look right. The pack of 25 is better value per lubricator if you have plenty of curves to dress.

Simple to fit

  1. Prime and paint. Give each a light key and a coat of primer. A bright body with a dark grey lid reads well from normal viewing distance.
  2. Fix down with superglue or any modelling adhesive that suits PLA.
  3. Settle them in. A wash of track grime over the lower half blends them into the ballast.

3D-printed in PLA: fine layer lines and tiny variations are normal and not defects. Colours may look slightly different on screen. Glue, paint and scenery not included. A model-making item for collectors, not a toy: contains small parts.
