Hi,

Just uploaded 2 pictures of the new 7996 RC point witch is covered with self adhesive tinned copper. The self adhesive copper is used in the electronic bussines to close gaps in racks or PC cases to prevent EMC radiation.

Now waiting for the next upcomming clubday to test the life time of this copper tape.

Regards,

This is just plain cool! Can you provide any link to where you bought the copper tape? Have you tested the points yet? Other than durability of the tape (which you’ll be testing later), how does it work from an electrical standpoint? Same as the current rails? Also, how long did it take you to apply the tape to the points? If this isn’t too labor intensive and it turns out to be durable, it might be the second wind for 9V trains. :-)

Nice work!

Actually...this stuff from 3M looks promising.
