So can DCC wiring, I've even run them with the wires twisted together and
taped, no solder. A 12 watt pencil iron is all one needs to install DCC.
Resistance soldering is really only convenient when working on brass models,
I rarely use mine for routine stuff as it is more trouble to set up and takes
up more space. I like a pistol trigger gun for soldering rail joints and
feeders and the small pencil irons for burning in brass details on plastic cars
and for wire handrails, cut levers etc. The only time I'd bother with the hotip
is if I wanted to remove or add a detail to a brass loco or similar situation(
which btw is situations I try to avoid ) ...dave
