<p>Hi All,</p><p>I gave up on the test a few months ago because the final results were very predictable. </p><p>Here they are:</p><p> 1 - Bachmann track with no treatment = Will rust very quickly, however, after one year, they are still structurally in very good condition.</p><p> 2 - Bachmann track wiped down every two weeks with either WD-40 or 20 wt motor oil = No rust. However, When treatment was stopped several months ago, the track began to rust within 6 weeks.</p><p> 3 - Track sprayed with clear epoxy and wiped down with WD-40 every two weeks = No rust. I have now cut the wipe down frequency to once per month with no ill effects.</p><p>Conclusion: I am satisfied that you can definitely use Bachmann track outside if you use either treatment #2 or #3 I have been using treatment #3 on my layout for the past 12 months, and, as you can see from the pictures that I took this morning, it is in great condition.
