Whilst this might be have a desired effect on the sides of the tracks, it is a problem for the tread. A tread should be bare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oxidation on the surface will reduce the conductivity between the wheels of the trains and the tracks. As a result, the tread has to be sanded after a certain time of operational inactivity. For big garden railway systems as well as in places that can only be reached difficulty, this implies a significant effort. An unplanned, last-minute use of the system after a longer break is nearly impossible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this reason, we decided 30 years ago to nickel plate the tracks! This decision has been validated over the years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Advantages<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li> authentic, mat silver finish on the tread ( the slight gloss of nickel will vanish within a short period of time)<\/li><li>solderable with common silver solder<\/li><li> continuous conductivity of brass<\/li><li> less deposit of dirt on the hard, smooth, non-porous  surface.
