I'm not sure how the price of ISO 600 would compare to ISO 460, but I'd 
rather use the 600 recommended by the people at the oil manufacturers.

Walt and others,
Last years Mc Master Carr catalog listed steam oil at $43.18 for 5 gal. ISO grade 460

Try your Yellow Pages.  I got mine from Farm Petrolium in Hadley, MA.  I
paid their driver $24, cost of a few (three) quarts, at my front door for
a 5 gal. can of Mobil steam oil.  I think they're out of business, but I
don't think they'd have delivered to Florida.  Their quoted price for 55
gal. was about the same as two 5 gal. cans.

Mr. Kaiser,
Please tell me where I can get 5 gallons delivered for under $16.00 -- the 
cost of a few (two) quarts retail.
Thanks,

It's a lot cheaper to buy 55 gallons at a time, but you can get a 5 gallon
can easily enough for not much more than a few quarts bought separately.

I get my steam oil from the large scale club that I belong to.  It is the 
dark stuff (which seems to work fine for me) and it is $3 a quart.  So if 
there is a large scale club around you, ask one of the members.  I also think 
that Cole's sells pints and quarts.

Steam Oil Sources

2000-04-29 Thread Dcpjmp

There has been a lot of discussion lately about steam oil. I was curious as 
to where everyone gets there oil.  I have gone through the few small bottles 
that I had that came with some locos.  I still have a bit of the Brandbright 
lighter weight oil that came with a Jane.

Currently I use the steam oil sold by Sulphur Springs.  Short of buying a 55 
gallon drum from Chevron are there other suppliers of steam oil in small 
quantities (one quart) in the U.S.?
