I am a firm believer in LGB graphite lubricant conductive paste (part # 51010) and have used it outdoors in weather ranging from 0 to 100 degrees F since 1998. I put it in the rail joiners with a toothpick, pu***he track ends together, and then clean the excess off the railhead with a rag. My local LGB dealer once showed me a scholarly article explaining how effective this product is, and my own experience supports this. <br /> <br />If at any time you have to take your track apart for repairs or changes, be sure to keep the can of conductive paste handy so you can use it as needed. <br /> <br />To also insure good operation and electrical continuity into the locomotive I use the LGB track cleaning block (part #50040) mounted on an old sponge mop handle with zip ties that you get at a hardware store. <br /> <br />[img]http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/BillC/cleaner__grade%20003com.jpg[/img] <br /> <br />Using these two items will give you reliable operation. <br /> <br />Yours truly, <br />Bill C. <br />
