How To Get A Good Solder Joint For Your Model Rail?

Andrew sent in this hobby tip:

“Perfecting your soldering skill is essential to own a stunning model rail network because spotless work not only looks good but also provides adequate grip and a flawless running platform for your engines and cars. You need a 100W gun and resistance soldering tools for the jobs such as installing etched metal kits while rosin core solder will help you to do a fantastic job. You also need a sanding block to clean the parts before the solder job and the joints must be cleaned after the job as well.It works for me.”
