Well I have heard the atlas code 100 is practically indestructible but is prototypically too large. <br />Code 83 seems to be the favorite <br />Peco turnouts are modeled after european prototypes so to me looks weird on american layouts. I am using shinohara code 70 works real nice and has in my opinion more selction when I was pricing track I wanted to buy it from one place in one order not hunt for it piece by piece Walthers code 83 is that way and peco the same one person had one size turnout but not all the ones i wanted. I like the code 70 it looks close to the right size to the engines wheels. <br />I have parts ofmy mainline up now and the only problem I have is an old matua steam engine that needs new 6 wheel trucks with RP25 flanges. <br />No derailments to report of course it took me a long time to laytrack and I was very methodical about it and did not rush.
