For all you track do-it-yourself-ers out there, which do you prefer? <br /> <br />Some Pros I see for Solder & PC ties: <br /> <br /> - Could use cork roadbed <br /> - infinite adjustment available <br /> <br />Cons: <br /> <br /> - Can't use pre-weathered rail (which may be a pain for making turnouts anyway <br /> <br />As for Spike Pros: <br /> <br /> - Could use pre-weathered track <br /> - No stinky solder <br /> <br /> <br />For those that solder to PC ties, and don't use pre-weathered rail, how do you weather your rail afterwards? <br /> <br />Thanks in advance for some insight...
