Hi Forum friends. My layout is effectively a 18 x 15 floor layout, so drop connections from the track to a buss running below are not possible. I must rely on a limited number of connections (every 7-8’) to a 16-awg perimeter buss carrying track voltage. I find Fastrack to be very, very unreliable, especially in terms of center rail connection continuity.
My question is, how could I bridge the gaps between track pieces to guarantee continuity of center rail voltage? Could I solder a small piece of unstranded wire across the track gaps? Can you even solder to the sides of the aluminum rails? Is there something like a small flat piece of metal which I could use with conductive adhesive to adhere to the rails over the gaps? This needs to be something I can do from the top of the track, preferably. Any ideas and thoughts would be much appreciated!
