There was an article on superelevation in MR a while back (and I believe is part of their new book on trackwork and lineside details) that advocated using stripwood under the outside rail. I tried it on one curve -- all I can say is you need VERY broad curves to have any visual effect, and there is absolutely no positive operational effect. In other words, unless you're set on it, and your trackwork and equipment weights/couplers are perfect, I'd pass.
