Tony, what WB47 wrote is good advice, and you don't need silver solder. Nickel silver solders easily with regular electronics solder. Another option is to solder your track feeders to the rail joiners. I've been doing this since 2002 and I've never had problems. One reason I like this method is that I can do the soldering on the bench with spring clamps in a mini vise, although I've also done it on my layout when the track is already assembled. For the center rail I sand the black oxide coating off of the bottom of the joiner and solder the feeder there. I solder to the sides of the outer rail joiners and place the side of the joiner with the wire facing away from view.
