Have you ever experienced that weird happening one faithful morning when your car just won’t start? Initially, we might think that the battery is just dead. But then again, you just bought that battery a month ago. It couldn’t have been dead that soon. So what really happened? Well, you have just been a victim of a known phenomenon called battery sulfation.

If you cut open a battery (I wouldn’t recommend this), it’s actually made of metallic plates suspended in an electrolyte solution. In a nutshell, a battery creates voltage through electrical processes that happen between these plates and the solution. The only problem is, sometimes, the lead present in the plates tend to combine with sulfuric acid in the solution and becomes lead sulfate. This process is called sulfation.

Shortly to follow with his outstanding model trains, Josh came out with a new gauge, and this was a reasonable 3 rail O gauge. He had rapidly seen the need for a train that would be more adjustable to home sizes and could generate off the electricity. That is precisely what this gauge provided and is nonetheless a very popular model today.
