Need Help with G Scale track connections. Maybe J.B.Weld ???

JB-Weld does not conduct current.

You'll probably have to drill small holes at the ends of each rail section, tap them, create short jumpers with ring terminals on each end, and install screws through these terminals and into your newly-drilled and -tapped holes.

A lot of work.

There are also the clamp-type "G" Scale direct-to-the-rail connectors that allow feed wires to be connected anywhere along a rail, but you would need at least one set of these for each rail section and a lot of wire.

Are the rails made of aluminum? Almost anything else that rails are commonly made of should accept solder.

Thanks John, I was hoping it would.

Mike, Yes, it's aluminum.

Why not use a Split Jaw Clamp or equivalent and screw your connection at the side ? I believe both Bachmann and Lgb sell hook up connections.

Train Li sells rail joiners as well.

I'm trying to help a club member who is having trouble keeping all the connectors tight on the track.  The track is not brass and it won't take solder.

Question; Would, "J.B. Weld" work to apply jumper wires between track sections ?   Will J.B.Weld conduct electric current ?

Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.

This is why Dead Raile come into existence.  No need for electrical connections,!  as far as keeping his track together , how is it mounted?
