I'm laying down flex track ( code 100) and since I'm powering the mini layout with Digitrax , I'm soldering feeder wires to the rail joiners , running the feeders through small holes drilled in the roadbed and benchwork . So far so good .
For soldering I'm using one of those light duty pencil type soldering irons .
To the question : Can I solder the rail joiners in place without melting the ties ? ......fluxing the area , tinning the iron tip and then touching the rail .......do I need a heat sink ? I haven't soldered for about 5 years now and can't remember ....getting old

To err is human, to blame it on somebody else shows management potential.
