Electrocure Conductive Paint On Model Railroad Frogs?
Michael was having problem with the frogs on his layout and has found that Electrocure conductive paint forms a conductive pathway which solved his problem. Here is what Michael has to share:
“I have a tip that might be handy for other model railroaders. When older trains go over plastic frogs on points they sometimes hesitate. I painted the tops of my frogs with car rear windscreen heater repair paint called ELECTROCURE – an electrical conductor paint and it cured mine. Best wishes.”

This sounds like just what I need. my older and shorter (020} Steam engines have this problem and even some of my longer engines when they come to a double frog or crossover situation
Just be careful that you don’t cause a short-circuit at the frog. There is a reason they are made of plastic.
