Joining Rails
Harry has a question for readers about track joining. You can comment on Harry’s question by using the green Comments and Feedback link below his posting. Here is Harry’s track question:
“I am not the best when it comes to soldering so I wondered if there is another way to join the tracks and keep them together (epoxy)?”

Harry, holding down track is usually done by using track nails, and or glueing down like on foam or a soft surface….Most of the soldering is done for better electric contact between joints….Everything mentioned I have done on my layout without problems, I have wood underlay, and I used foam to get to the upper level….Soldering can be learned, just practice, or have a friend help you out….Herb Sr
