Chris, <br /> <br />I use Code 100 on my HO Scale layout. I know that Code 83 most nearly matches the depth of 135 lb rail used in heavy main line service today but I don't think it is easily noticable. Part of the problem is that the rail may be different but it is the track ties, spikes and plates molded into the plastic that make the most difference in appearance. Having said all that, I think Code 100 is and will continue to be the most available. I also like Peco turnouts and they are Code 100. Unfortunately, I have alot of other turnouts to swap out someday. I discovered Peco well after I started. Do whatever you think is best and don't worry about the MRR Police. - Ed
