Another question from the newbie. I am building HO layout using Atlas Code 83 flex track. I know I need to solder the connections on curves, but here are my questions: 1. When do most of you solder? Before the track is laid (ie, on the workbench) or as the track is being laid? Why? Same answer whether it is on straight away or curves? 2. What do most of you do with turnouts and connections to track? Always solder? Never? Why? 3. Does everyone solder all connections (except a couple to allow for expansion, etc.) or do you solder only on curves? And turnouts? 4. What is your favorite track soldering technique? I have read several books, articles and posts on this forum and elsewhere, but now that I am ready to do it for the first time, I thought I would ask these questions. Thanks in advance. John
