First a few words on soldering joiners: Electrically, you do not need to solder both feeders to every piece of rail and solder the joiners. You only need to...

It sounds like you have a good plan. Whatever liquid flux you buy, don't buy acid flux. That will eat your track over time. I can definitely recommend the...
