If your room temps are not perfectly controlled you will have some problems with the humidity if you solder all of the track sections into a one piece set up.If your good at soldering I would suggest attaching the feeders to the bottoms of the rails. I would also suggest feeders for each piece of flex.Do not solder the turnouts to anything and do not glue them in place incase you need to replace . A good plan is to leave just the slightest gap between track sections to allow for expansion of the rail section.These gaps do not need to be very big but they do need to be there.
One trick we learned with our On30 which uses ATLAS code 100 rail is to use the N scale rail joiners they are not easily seen and it only takes a few swipes with a file to clean the ends of the larger rail to use them.
I hope this is helpful,it is not the ONLY way to do it.It is just what works for me. :mrgreen: YMMV
