Ian, <br />Being a 40 year boat captain, I'm very familiar with electrolysis. It can destroy even massive pieces of metal. I.e. whole ship hulls and propellors. <br />My question was not about using using wood for ties. I'm using sectional LGB track with the plastic ties. My question was about using "plastic" lumber for the sub bed to hold the track level and straight. Screw or nail the sectional track to an aprox. 2" wide plastic board which will be buried in the ballast. <br />My main concern is the expansion coefficent of the plastic lumber. It should be much less than than actual wood. I'm just wondering how close it would be to the expansion coefficent of the brass track. I live in Northern Florida where temps can get fairly high. <br />The area where I am at has a bit of a problem with termites. Any wood left laying on the ground here will be infested with termites in a matter of days.
