Is it still worth greasing the brake pipes through their entire length as I used to do many years ago to stop the pipes corroding, or is that just a waste of time now days?

Brake Pipes
See numerous threads on this. Weak pont on 75's and can rust fairly early on so definately worth greasing or painting the pipes.

Would you recommend any particular make or type grease or will any type do? Cheers Kev

Personally I like LM grease. Don't forget to wipe down the lines before you put any on though otherwise you'll be trapping dirt and moisture - a bit counterproductive.
