[modeleng] Track circuiting & Loctite

Hi all

Can anyone answer the following question?

If all of the axles and wheels in a train are assembled using Loctite, can 
that train be relied upon to operate track circuits?  I know that with a 
steam locomotive, there is likely to be contact between the back faces of 
the wheels and the axleboxes, which will then give conductivity through the 
frames, but is this reliable, and what about rolling stock with outboard 
ball bearings?

Thoughts please, gentlemen!

Regards
