Rail covers for Display
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, January 19, 2007 1:41 PM

I'm looking to display some of my postwar Lionels in a enclosed cabinet.  I'm figuring to lay a few pieces of FasTrack on the shelf and place the cars on it.  When I have seen this done in other displays I've noticed a clear strip of plastic was placed on the metal rails.

1.) Is this clear plastic strip to help prevent corosion between the metal wheels and metal rail, or simply to prevent the car from rolling?

2.) Does someone sell these plastic rail covers?
