Sorry it took me so long to respond to your question. If the joints are soldered and you want to change the track plan, A razor blade or dremel tool is used to cut the track right next to the rail joiner and the section of track can be removed. If you want to put in a switch, just lay the switch on top of the track were you want it, cut out a section the same size as the switch using the switch to measure, and drop it in. I have also unsoldered track, but it is a little tougher to do. A solder sucker from Radio Shack and a little pulling action along with trying to hold the hot iron on the joint is sometimes a two person job. Hope I answered your question.....Jamie
