Enter your post below.
Take a slot headed screwdriver, a pair of pliers, an alligator clip, whatever will conduct electricity and jump the rail joiner. OR a piece of wire with an alligator clip on both ends. Attach one to the offending rail and one to the next one in line. If the train now moves, you need to solder the rail joiner to the track. Only solder the outside.
