[quote user="Track fiddler"]I wasn't very good at soldering rail when I was young I always seemed to melt the ties. At the price of track these days this makes me nervous and I'm probably trying to find any way out of it any way I can.[/quote] I wasnt good at soldering feeders until someone showed me how.  Also dont use a Weller soldering gun (I think I was using the 100W/140W version) to do the soldering.  A 35W-45W soldering Iron is adequate for most HO scale work. The soldering gun melts ties in about 8 sec.
