Hi, thanks to Peter and all posters, the meaning of RTV is now clear to me. Did4nt ever thought to uses something like that in a model-railroad-loco. I tink Larry G. Nelson just liked to share his experiences he made using this kind of glue next to the brushes of a motor suggesting to avoid the usage of RTV in this case. Kind regards Stefan Sczekalla-Waldschmidt ssw@oikossw.de
