Great vid. I’d have to disagree with the “no need to clean” the surface though. My Dad was a physicist who specialized in metallurgy in the defense industry and taught me to solder. The most important part of the soldering process is surface prep. This is true for any metal(or NM) joining process, be it welding, brazing or soldering. Many of the Garden railway guys use a Dremel tool with a wire brush. Hope it was ok to throw in my 2 cents. Great vids though!🙏

Thanks Of course the cleaner the rail the better and when the track is really corroded you have to use a dremmel .

Hi, I would add to resqdiver1 helpfull comment, that using flux which is full of acid outdoors, is sure to make problems with oxidation in a short amount of time. I speak from 40 years experience with garden railroading.

Drill tap and screw and some dielectric grease in the joint is usually enough

You can bypass using the blue wire by just applying the solder onto the rail clamps. No unsightly wires.

Yes you could only then the rail can't move when the Sun is out. That is not good it wil break the sleepers and really ruin your day. Been there and done that had to throw a lot of tracks away.

Expansion and contraction will change your layout with buckles and bends.

Can you show What you are using there to be able to solder the wires to the rail?
@@BAMBAM5476, I have never seen a soldering iron like that. Appears to be working on induction or something like that. I only know soldering irons that use heat.

Sorry for the question, but what is the purpose of the blue wire and do you put that between each joiner of track pieces?
@BAMBAM54763 жыл бұрын
The purpose of the blue wire it that i had it laying around . And yes it is between each joint in the layout.

Hi, sorry maar is dit niet overbodig wat jij hier uitvoert , dit heeft toch geen nut.

Het is zeker nuttig want zo heb je altijd een goede stroom toevoer op de rails ook als de rail verbinders los gaan zitten
