For those who don't like the look of aluminum rail, you can use a product that we use at the PA live Steamers called Sikkens. It's a "heavy" paint like stain that we put on the plywood top, rail, and ties all at once. Wipe the top of the rail off after applying it. It comes in different colors. Cho

Hi All. As Steve says "Conductivity isn't the only factor." The resistance between the power supply and the loco motor, consists of three components:- 1. The Conductivity of the rails. 2. The resistance of the rail joints. 3. The resistance of the loco wheels/pickups and the track. 1. Condu

My experience is that any smooth rail is slippery outdoors if moisture exists. Grade and load the engine is hauling can cause any engine to slip. The three steam engines I have run on my track ran as well as the electrics that had no rubber traction tire. The axle loading also affects traction.
