Hi guys, <br /> <br />I know this will be very old ground for most of you but I would appreciate the input. On my last set up I had LGB track and on every track joint I used the LGB copper paste for conductivity, I never had a problem with bad connections etc. <br />This time round it's Aristo track with the American sleepers & I'm wondering about their screw fixings. Anything that's clamped should have no conductivity problems, but do those little grub screws stay as tight as they're put or do they start unscrewing the minute your back's turned. What have other Aristo users done? Clamps? Jumper wires? The set up will run either side of the garden with one side in shade most of the time but the other side will get baked in summer and frozen/soaked in winter. The track will float in the ballast so expansion/contraction will be ok, it's just those darned joints. Give me those experiences guys. <br />Cheers, <br />Kim <br />[tup] <br /> <br />Just got to add a message for Ian over in Oz. Just read your note about problems with your PC so it may have dropped my e-mail. Irish Sea, sea area Morecombe Bay, 9 degrees. Hope that's ok mate.
