Soldering Leads to the Track
Because I had trouble with trains catching on the solder when I solder the power leads to the side of the track I've found a better way. I solder the leads to the bottom of the track.
I use my Xuron track cutter to remove two 2-tie-length pieces of the plastic to which the track is attached. I hold the wire in place with locking tweezers and solder it to the exposed bottom of the track in each location.
