Mike, I will bring a dual wattage soldering gun to the fun run you
can borrow.
My 100 watt soldering gun is just barely able to do it, a 150 watt
would probably be perfect. It is that the rail acts like a heat sink
pulling all the heat away from where you want to solder. If you have
the blackened center rail the solder will not stick to the blackening so you
will need to sand through that stuff where you want to solder
too.
It usually isn't that bad, you just have to be patient and wait a
while until the rail is hot enough.

Adrian,
Thanks. I knew I had read the spec, but for some reason I
couls not locate it.
Thanks for the tip about soldering before mounting the track.
I think that's my biggest challenge. I have two rather low wattage
soldering irons. I suspect I will have some trouble getting enough
heat onto the rail. Does anyone know just how big an iron is
needed? I have a propane torch, but I fear the rail will discolor if
I'm not careful with the flame.
Mike
