I've built layouts with cd 100 and 83. The curent one is cd 83. I like the turnout selection and as far as the flimsey factor - I don't know how someone is treating the track but, I've only had one switch come apart and Walthers replaced it in a heartbeat. <br /> <br />The heighth differance between the Atlas track and Walthers turnouts is way overplayed. My layout has probably 50 turnouts and only one of them is shimmed and that's because its at the transition from high road to the slope down. I also use cd 100 in the staging yard simply because I had it and needed to put it someplace. The wheels click when going over the cd 83/100 joint but they are soldered and have given me no trouble what so ever. If the click bothers you file the rail head a little. I can't hear the click over the sound of the locos. <br /> <br />Bob
