This depends on which Code 55 you are working with. If you are working with Peco code 55, that is actually code 80 height rail (shaped appropriately) sunk into the ties a little bit. They connect directly with Code 80 rail (with a little filing possibly needed), and require a little work getting the bottom of the ties supported to get the tops of the rails at the right level. <br /> <br />For all other code 55 rail, I used a combination of two methods between all of the different rail sizes I used. One is the tried and true method that GTIRR mentioned. Another method is that I used my Dremel to "notch" about 3/16" of the code 80 rail, so that the code 55 would sit on the bottom part left after I "notched" it, and then soldered everything together. <br /> <br />---jps
