Jack,

The only sure way to augment that connection is to solder a very fine wire
jumper across the "rail joiner". I would use wire in the range of #28 - #32, to
keep the ugliness of the solder joint down. However, you can avoid the ugly
surface solder issue by running the jumper underneath and scraping away a couple
of ties to solder to the underside of the two rail sections.

Regards,

Greg Johnson

there is a rail joiner. That rail joiner on a modular layout which can get
jostled when moving it can potentially come loose. Leaving you to depend on the
points to make contact with the stationary rail. Due to dirt that can't always
be good.
