I watched a video on TrainMastersTV where Joe Fugate suggests using B4 graphite on HO rail heads to improve conductivity and reduce the gunk, metal oxides) commonly found on the rails and that hinder electrical conductivity.
Fugate suggests that you first clean the rails before using the graphite. Once cleaned the B4 Graphite is applied along the top inner rail head using the bar of graphite and only one pass is made. The graphite is highly electically conducive and as the locomotives run on the treated rails Graphene is released and forms a coating on the top of the rail. This coating is highly conductive.
Fugate claims that using the graphite reduces rail cleaning to once a year. B4 Graphite is avaiable on Amazon.
Have you ever tried using Graphite in theismanner? And if you did, what were your results.
Thanks.
