I use cedar or redwood, soaked in boiled linseed oil for my turnout ties. Some have been in the ballast for ten years, and look as good as they did when they were installed. Eastern Washington, -20°F to 105°F, rain, snow and ice, plus blazing sun. Next spring, I plan to pull the turnouts, and let them swim in linseed oil for a while. It’s too cold, now.

I used used motor oil on the oil well derrick that I built for a MIK Challenge. So not all of the old school tricks have been forgotten.
