I have chosen to use Atlas code83 on my railroad. Pretty much I chose between Atlas code83 and atlas code100 as it's readyly avaliable and cheaper than other brands. I've heard a lot of good thinks about the mirco engineering flex track so I may have a look at some of that and maybe use some of that in detailed locations. <br /> <br />I chose the atlas code83 over the atlas code 100 for three reasons the main one being the spike detail. on the code83 the spikes are much finer than the code100 the spike on that are massive and that bothered me. reason #2 was the tie dimensions. Again they're finer on the code83 It makes the locomotives look more massive against them. Lastly was the colouring. Not really a big deal and didn't factor into my decision much but the brown ties do look better than the black in my opinion. Strangely enough the size of the rail didn't really factor into my desision much. The difference between the two when placed next to each other isn't all that great. The average person isn't going to notice. <br /> <br />As for turnout's I'm building all of them myself so I haven't even looked into them.
