What I do is flatten half of a code 80 rail joiner and cut a code 55 joiner in half. Solder the half of the code 55 joiner to the flattened end of the code 80 joiner. Then you can join the two without soldering directly to the more delicate code 55 track.

Doug-- That sounds like a plan if the plastic joiner doesn't pan out.  Thanks!
Best regards,

Roger
