Insulated rail joiners

Just a silly thought as a spin-off to various instructions to fit these little bits of plastic, instead of conducting 'metal' joiners.

Has anyone suffered an intermittent short-circuit on their railway, caused by the very thin dividing web on the IRJ wearing through, due to the minute amount of movement in the track-ends 'sawing' it away as loco's repeatedly pass over, and/or thermal expansion?

Nope....however mine are Peco and not Hornby brand. The Peco ones are made from some form of pliable slippery Nylon.
