I hope I have posted this in the proper place.
I am using Atlas code 83 flex track. I am making home made feeder wires for my joiners. I have watched several videos and people are attaching the feeder wires directly to the track on the outside of the rail. I realize it would be a very minimal visual distraction but a distraction none the less. I plan on using soldered rail joiners at every connection. Is this going to be a problem? Having the entire layout soldered solid? I will not be soldering the turnouts in place but I will solder wires directly to the bottoms of the rails. My train room is climate controlled so expansion and contraction should not be an issue.
