[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by davekelly I've soldered wire to the bottom of rail joiners - really easy to do, but you still have to rely on a good mechanical connection between the joiner and the rail. [/quote] Agreed. My problem is that I painted the sides of my rail to make it look rusted, some of the paint found its way into the joiners, and...you can pretty much guess what effect that had! [quote]QUOTE: davekelly (continued) When solding feeders to rail, where possible I solder the wire to the bottom of the rail before installation. [/quote] Again, excellent advice but bad timing - my track is already installed, cemented to homasote. I am trying to resurrect a sizable chunk of trackwork leftover from a layout in my previous home.
