Reply to "Soldering track"

I like this idea and am wondering if this has been tried on tubular track? However, my solder is not adhering. Thinking about trying flux with it? This is what I am using with a Sealody Soldering Station.

I use a Weller 100/140W soldering gun, I've soldered tons of tubular track drops, and recently all the drops for 500 feet of Ross/Gargraves track and 30+ switches.  All the track was new, and I never needed any additonal flux.  I just used rosin core solder and just apply heat and solder with one exception.  I cleaned off the black treatment on the center rail of the Ross/Gargraves before soldering.  You may not be getting enough heat to the track.  With tubular and/or Ross/Gargraves with wooden rails, no danger of melting ties, so a little more heat is good for quick work.
