Good Morning Dave: I have two guns and I don't know how many irons. The irons are used to solder wire to the track as the guns have a tendency (SP) to melt the ties before they melt the solder. But I like the guns for general wire work under the layout as they cool quickly and I don't get burned as much. I solder ALL of my wire connections except at the terminal blocks, and have never had any trouble with any connections. I use a 25 watt iron for the track and I have an 80 watt that's left over from my stained glass days that's never been used on a layout. If you but a gun be sure and get a dual heat as you use the "high" to heat up fast and then solder with the "low". Have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob
