Well, my intention is to use the old code 100 track only for the staging yard -- I'm building the new layout all code 83, and flex track as much as possible. So if there's a problem with the old stuff, it'll be easy to rip out and replace without disturbing scenery or ballast. This is a plus because I really haven't finalized how I'm going to do the staging yet, and I won't have to worry about damaging new track as I play with the configuration. And I'll at least get up and running a bit faster without having an even more major investment in new track (current estimate around $350 - 400, since I'll be using quite a few curved turnouts for space reasons). So I can live with it for now. <br /> <br />In the meantime, the old track is also good for temporary track laying so I can finalize where the track will be for cutting the sub-roadbed and building the risers for the grades. <br />
