No Tom this is not the best way it is only a bandaid. get rid of the origonal connectors altogether, but be acreful as you may damage the small welded internal connections in the points (switches). I have many connections to points and in every case I have used Hillman clamps as recommended by Jack Verducci and I can tell you they are terrific, no trouble at all. If you want before you do the clamp up put the your aire in between the clamp and thre rail; tighten up and you have a a simple cheap trouble free connection. I always tin my connections first as they will be mechanically stronger than un tinned ones but again you may get a down side a) more liable to crack. b) The flux used in soldering can sometimes have a corrosive affect on your wire. <br /> <br />Rgds ian
