I am currently in the process of planning my first layout. I have purchased some books and have been doing some generic reading. I do need some assistance with answering a few basic questions though: 1) I have decided to use Atlas code 83 track. For some pieces (bridges) I will need to use code 100 - is it going to be a problem to switch back and forth? 2) I plan on using under the table switch machines. Does this mean that you purchase manual switches? 3) Where can I find a good (detailed) article about track soldering? 4) Any idea where I might get a good "on line" history of the Pennsylvania RR? I would really appreciate any assistance that you might give in providing input on these matter. Thanks, Mike
