I also use code 100. I love realism, but when you are gazing at your (or someone elses') layout, how obvious is it that the rails are 0.017" taller? <br />Not me. I like not worry about my couplers dragging the ballast or some other problem due to track clearance. The only big differance I see is that the code 83 track already has brown ties (even though they still have the "plastic" look). I paint my track and ties anyway so it's not that big of deal for me. I saw that some other people mentioned mounting the track with liquid nails which is a great idea. I like to use, of all things, hot glue. The reason I like it over the other meathods is <br />1) It dries instantly so you can keep working <br />2) You can still reuse the track by sliding a razor blade under the ties and peeling of the extra glue. <br />3) I can buy a 100 glue sticks for $3.00 at Walmart.
