Hi, the difference between code 83 and code 100 track is the height of the rail. #83 is more realistic looking and more prototipical. Code 100 in real life would be two or three inches tall for rail height. Not sure what size turnouts yuo bought #4 #6 or what. The bigger the number the more space it uses. Also, I think most of us put the turnouts on the board first, soldar the flex track to the switch and then create the bend in the track then fit and cut to your next switch. This should help to keep the little kinks out of the joints. Hope I helped, Jamie
