I know some manufacturer's track has different tie thickness than others. For example: Atlas code 83 ties are thicker than Micro Engineering code 83 ties. <br /> <br />Therefore, the two types of track can't be put together unless you shim the one with thinner ties. <br /> <br />Well, I want to use Walthers/Shinohara turnouts on my next layout, but their flex is a bit rich for my tastes, so I was going to use ME flex. <br /> <br />Anybody try this? Are the tie thicknesses of Shinohara and ME track the same (or close enough)? <br /> <br />Thanks in advance for any advice. <br /> <br />Rob
