<p>Conductivity is measured in Mhos which is only ohms spelt backwards and it is the opposite of resistance. </p><p>You can do what you like but you will never under normal circumstances beat normal brass track for conductivity.</p><p>The problem is and always has been the joins in the track. I use 3.69m (12") track sections which means not many joins and what joins i do have except at points (switches) i use LGB joiners which are then properly soldered when they are new.</p><p>For points i use Hillman clamps, not he split jaw type they are toohard to get on. This is what is covered in the text book on the matter.</p><p>I regularly go over my track with a voltage meter and i cannot detect any worthwhile voltage drop across any of my joins unless in the rare event of a problem joint.</p><p>Regards ian </p>
