I spoent a lot of time thinking about track size for my new layout. I decided on code 100 instead of code 83 for the following reasons: 1. I use DCC and I am told by several knowledgable people that code 100 is more foolproof than smaller track sizes. A friend of mine has a DCC layout with code 70 track and several of his locos (Bachman)have trouble running consistently. 2. I wanted to use Peco turnouts, so my choice was code 100 or code 70. The code 100 was more cost effective as the Peco codee 100 stuff is frequently sold at a street price less thanthe code 70 stuff. 3. Once I weathered an ballasted the code 100 track it looks pretty darn good. Many layouts featured in MR use code 100 track and photgraph well.
