Thanks to all of you for the help. I am thinking that code 83 seems to be at the upper end of the acceptable sizes, but it will be a good choice for my mainlines. If I have a passing siding on my single track mainline, do I use the same size rail as the mainline, or a smaller size? I am thinking of the new Peco code 83 series for most of the mainline. The other option I am looking at is Shinohara. Do you have any comments on this? For yards I will probably use code 70, and here Shinohara seems the best bet. I am reluctant to go finer than code 70 for reasons of ruggedness and reliability of operation. Any comments? Thanks again, Ryan
