Hi emipap <br />I have used them to join every LGB track secsion together as my track is <br />pridominently LGB. <br />Forget about LGB's conductive paste go to the local automotive store and get a tub of good quality graphite grease it will do the same job a lot cheaper <br />wear old clothes as if you get the grease on them it is a [censored] job to get it out of them. <br />Also the clips must go in the right way up there is a right and wrong way up <br />with them put them in the wrong way and your sleepers (ties} will eventualy <br />break at the clip slot <br />Also as Bill C points out a good quality angular ballast is a must my track has been in ballast with clips for three years. <br />In temps from -2 or 3 in winter up to the 45 degrees c or there abouts in summer I have dealt with this useing LGB's adjustable track section and would recomend them where the line goes from in the full sun to in full shade as you have two diferent expansion rates to counteract I have found that opening the track to half possable length works well but did not use any scientific method to choose that length <br />regards John
