If I had to wager a guess, I would say that the A/D tracks would be 83, and the yard and engine tracks 70. The actual hump track would probably be 83, as it would see quite a bit of use.

yard track sizes
Posted by gtcr98 on Sunday, January 18, 2004 1:02 PM
hi, I am in the planing stages of a modern hump/classification yard in HO scale. The threw tracks will be code 83. My questions are the following, 1. Would the A/D tracks be code 83 or 70? 2.Would all classification and engine service track be code 70? 3. What would be the correct code for the actual over the hump track?
