Nice pizza there 
Interestingly the rails on the disks arent soldered together, they are just joined with a standard fishplate. However, to get them to stay in that position what i did was to slide all the sleepers off, bend the two rails to a radius smaller than what they are going to be layed at, and then slid the sleepers back on - staggering the joints of the two rails. What this in effect does is insure that the rails themselves want to be at a tighter radius and so the ends push against each other forcing themselves into the fishplate and staying there.
