Reply to "Soldering track"

I have 3 feeder wires I just can't get to stick to Gargraves. I have had this before. Im using a 40 watt soldering iron.

If this is tinplate Gargraves, all you need is to make sure it's clean and more heat.  A 40W iron isn't up to soldering most track, too big a heatsink.  Obviously, if you're soldering the black center rail, you have to remove the black coating.

I soldered all my drops on over 500 feet of track using my Weller 100/140W gun and standard 63/37 Rosin core solder.
