I have a Weller 35 watt iron which I use for decoders, lighting , and soldering rail (HO or N). I also use it to strip decoder wire rather than trying using a knife or stripper tool. <br />Try it sometime it works great. Set the tip at 90deg to the wire aqt point you want it stripped then move to end of wire. Clean wire with damp cloth or sponge. <br />The main thing when soldering is to have a clean tip (when hot wipe with a damp cloth or sponge every time you apply the iron. It also helps to tin objects before joining them I.E. sweating them together . Ken
