QUOTE: Originally posted by HAZMAT9 As to soldering the flex track and switches in, can I solder them in place with the pins holding the track down once I glue the roadbed and track down or do I solder them in sections on a workbench and add them in as I go?
QUOTE: Any easy tricks out there to help speed things up?
QUOTE: I was wondering why Code 83 flex (Atlas) doesn't have holes for track nails...would have been easier to pin the flex down with these holes.
QUOTE: is the moveable flex rail to the outside/inside....I think it goes outside

QUOTE: Originally posted by lereynolds On turns put the moving rail to the inside. As you bend the track it will grow longer and allows you to have to make only one cut.

As you bend the track it will grow longer and allows you to have to make only one cut. But don't cut it! Slide it into the ties of the next section, and join it wherever it ends up. That way you will only have to cut one rail for the entire curve. This will also keep the rail joints in each rail from being side to side.
