on my last layout I used hand laid code 55 track with M.E. turnouts. I had trouble with derailments so my new layout is code 80 I used flex track with peco turnouts,planing on replacing the flex with hand laid code 80 as I go along. Hand laying is not hard I used Pliobond and a soldering iron(MESSY) I also spiked some of it. It seems as my steam engines were the most problem on the code 55. Code 80 has made things much more reliable. Also I noticied that all the N-track layouts I saw at the Train shows were using code80 with Peco turnouts.
