i just layed down my flex track and glued it to my corkbed. i was just wondering do i have to solder them together, i know its better if you do but is it neccesary for train running.
stuart_canada said:well you should solder the trak before you lay the track, just easier to solder that way.

Matthyro said:What I do is lay two pieces of flex track end to end in a straight line. They are joined with track connectors. I solder them and that gives me a long straight section. I then lay it around the curve with the soldered connection in the middle of the curve then when I reach the two ends I have to cut the track off even to add the next section sections which are usually straght.
stuart_canada said:well I figured that people would understand, solder the track together in long strips. 2 to 3 sections in lenght, then lay the track in the desired shape. then spike track in place, cut the section to mate up with next section of track and keep going.
