@Ted S posted:Atlas track has a reputation of being difficult to solder to, partly because the plastic ties are susceptible to melting. I will probably use it but I'm dreading it. I've seen a few threads on the forum discussing different techniques. I strongly encourage you to do a search (you can also use Google to search the OGR Forum.)
Another way to get power to Atlas track is to use the wired rail joiners that Atlas provides at a cost. But for the price of some rail joiners, both center rail and outside rail, and some wire at the AWG you prefer. I suggest stranded. Get out your soldering equipment and have at it. With this scenario there is no concern regarding the plastic ties. The draw back to this albeit minimal is the preplanning of where to drill holes to feed your drops through the table. As I said minimal but you do need to think ahead a little.
