Anyone use electrical contact grease on track pins?

that sounds like a good idea.

I have contact problems from

time to time at train shows

and have to pull conector

tracks to clean and reinstall.

contact grease sounds like a deal to me

I use Deoxit-D5 on anything that I suspect might have conductivity issues.

I have used it on my G gauge layout out on my deck.  Seems to work fine.  The track has been outside for 2 summers and a winter.

It definitely helps keep things cleaner, removing air by isolation, you will prevent oxidation, and carbon build up.

I use Deoxit and a few other products from Caig Labs.

Sometimes I will put a drop on the axle pin of collector rollers, followed by a drop of their lubricant.

Among the products they make a cleaner/lubricant for pots that I have used to rescue noisy controls on stereo equipment a number of times.

When I assembled my layout years ago, each and every pin was coated with silver grease (made by Chemtronics about $18 per tube, little goes long way) plus squeezing the next section openings tighter.  Have not experienced a failure.  Did the same when re-assembling layout after move to new home.  No failures.  And I do not use any cleaners, just wipe track down with a cloth.

Works great outdoors on the G gauge especially with the compression fit rail joints that are slowly being superseded with screw type clamps that also get an application. This is especially helpful when dealing with brass outdoors.
