[quote user="Rastun"] The Bachmann large scale track is hollow so it is very thin (the reason it rusts to nothing in very little time) [/quote]There have been a few comments concerning the fact that the track is hollow and may rust from the inside. To solve this problem I was planning to try the method that is used for tube and fabric airplanes. Piper Cubs, Taylorcrafts, Citabrias, Pitts Specials, and many others all have fuselages that are made of 4130 steel tubing.To prevent these tubes from rusting from the inside out, a product called tube seal is poured in the tubes and sloshed around. It is made from linseed oil and various other inhibitors. The linseed oil adheres to the walls of the tubes, and, when it dries, it forms a protective surface which prevents rust and fills any pinholes in the welded joints. I currently use this product in the racing biplane that I built, and have used it on various antique airplanes that I have restored in the past.This would be easy to accomplish....Just fill an oil can with the tube seal product and pump it through each rail before the section is laid.
