If you dab some ammonia on the track it will loosen the latex caulking and less ties lost.
Use solder wick on rail jointers and it will wick away nearly all of the solder and make it easier to remove.
I never solder rail jointers, leave room for expansion. Put feeder wires on every section of track between joints!
