He didn't have it ballasted and when you cut flex track in a curve and it's unballasted it tends so go back straight between the used nail holes. The only reason I think soldering to circuit board is better is if the layout gets wet or is banged / dropped hard enough to break the ballast loose from the cork or the cork loose from the plywood. Some people don't even glue their cork down, but rely on the track nails to hold it too. FRED
