[quote user="iandor"] Mike you are quite right about using rail clamps, I use Hillman on all connections to points (switches) but as good as they are they are not as good as LGB rail joiners soldered! In my opinion anyway and they are pretty expensive if you are going to use a lot of them.   Rgds Ian [/quote] San-Val has rail joiner clamps that go OVER the existing LGB rail joiner.    This method is superior because keeping that quality LGB joiner on the rail and then reinforcing it with a clamp makes for a robust connection.  Hopefully Hillman and other firms make joiner-over clamps as well. Yes, clamps add much to the cost of the track!  Clamps are about $1.59 each with a little discount if bought in bulk.  But they really are fast and convenient (compared to soldering!) . It all comes down to this:  I prefer to pay more for avoiding frustration ....what is more precious: your time or your money? That is only something each individual has to decide. Regards,   Tom M.
