Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/026881
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[Problem] To provide a novel highly-realistic rail for a railway model without degrading conductivity. [Solution] This track, which is for a railway model and has a metallic rail 3, has a copper plated layer 4 on at least a side surface of the rail 3. A chemical conversion treatment layer 5 is formed on the surface of the copper plated layer 4, thereby causing the external appearance of the rail 3 to be brown colored. The chemical conversion treatment layer 5 can be formed, for example, in an antique copper finished layer formed by antique copper finishing, which is a type of chemical conversion treatment. The color obtained by the chemical conversion treatment represented by the antique copper finishing is considered to be the color of corroded iron in railway rails, and this treatment is thus employed as a model representation method.
