Hello.
I've been using Lionel 0 & 027 gauge tubular track for my Post War layout in my basement for years, and had to deal with rusty rails. I decided to try ATLAS O gauge track and switched because they will not rust, but I don't like the flimsy turnouts or lack of Magna-Traction. I have two questions.
1. Is there a way to coat Lionel Tubular track with something that will reduce the rust and not interfere with operations?
2. Is there a new track that has similar Magna-Traction properties, and non-derailing switches, like Post War Tubular track, yet will not rust as rapidly?
Thanks.
