Well, this is my first layout in 30 years, and the first one wasn't that successful. I'd like to have more fun this time! I have done the benchwork and layed the track about 2 months ago on a 4x8, and now I am wondering about whether I would be better off to solder the rail joints or wire each rail section. I origionally assumed that the rail joiners would be sufficient for regular operations. From what I've read, soldering was glossed over a bit, but I assumed it was for the more ambitious and, well, picky (there's another word for it, but it probably wouldn't get by the filters). So what is the hazard of NOT soldering or wiring each section? Larry W.
