I solder the two rails together after filing them to my frog # or angle. My flange way is formed from the end of each closure rail. On code 83 or smaller my points closure rail and frog outside flangeways are all one piece of track (one curved, the other straight. On some TO's I use a PCB tie under the frog area to solder everything down to. I made a fixture/jig for #4 & 6 TO's that fits over the rails and spaces the flangeway and guages the track in the frog area. This jig is made from a piece of printed circuit board and scraps of rail soldered to it.
