The MicroEngineering code 100 looks very similar to Atlas code 83. You have to put them side by side to see the difference. The ME product has brown ties like the Atlas cd 83. They're smaller ties than the Atlas cd 100 product too. The big difference is how you bend it for curves. Once you bend it, it stays bent! I am replacing my Atlas code 100 turnouts with Peco code 100 and I am relplacing my Atlas code 100 track with ME code 100. There are a couple of places where I have Atlas code 83 and I will leave it in place. Once the ME 100 and the Atlas 83 are painted and weathered I don't think you can tell the difference unless you're a real nitpicker AND lookiing VERY closely. I have had some problems with the Atlas turnouts and my DCC system. The problem does not happen with the Peco product so I'm swaping them out a few at a time. Good luck on your layout. Ed
