At the risk of several people disagreeing with me, it certainly won't do them any good !
There is a specialist supplier of model lubricants that advertises in the RM (& probably other mags), after all, even expensive lubricants used sparingly (as they should be) won't exactly break the bank.
I've had far too many repairs on my bench in the past stinking of 3 in 1 or WD40 that have had to be completely stripped to recommend anything but the right lubricant.
Using the correct lubricants will enhance the performance of your locos - after all, you would'nt put cooking oil into your cars engine would you.
