1. Not if you solder well. What you want to do is solder the code 83 rail to the top of a code 100 rail joiner. try and plan it so that the inside of the rails line up. If you miss a bit, just clean it up with a small mill file. 2. Yes, then the machine of choice. 3. you might check the magazine index on this web page. Howevever it's not Brain surgery. Basically assemle the track, place some moist paper towels over the ties near the join and apply a hot 75 watt+ soldering iron to the joint. Count to 10 and take your rosin core solder and touch the rail just above the rail jiont. When the rail gets hot enough to melt the solder the solder will be drawn into the joint. Cool with a wet finger and do the other side. 4. That's a lot history for a web site but try the historical societys listed on this web page. I hope I have helped.
