I always thought that soldering is only possible at the splice plates at the ends of the K-tracks. This is because the rails are made of stainless steel profile on which the usual electronics solder metal does not hold. Recently, on a trip to the Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg I saw that there were solderings at the rails. I suppose they use a special solder metal. Any ideas what this could be ? Hans Martin
