Here is a link to my pics of construction of resistance soldering station. Still need to do up a schematic.

I have just updated my blog with a better diagram of transformer and a pic of schematic as well.

Hope to have a project to use this easy to make bare bones resistance soldering station soon.

once you get it working you will wonder why i didn't build one sooner. with a set of tweezer type ends its the best thing for soldering track.

Jim it does indeed work but all I have done with it so far is solder 2 wires to a scrap of copper Icon_lol

Will be rounding up some sheet copper and brass to try my hand at an old MR project from April 1968 Eek it is older than me Icon_lol It is a 89' flat with auto rack, the authors ho version done in sheet tinplate looks awesome. I will attempt to replicate the project in both S and O scales.
