Fastrakr... I am sure you have heard this before, but Code 83 is 83/1000" high, and code 100 is (you guessed it) 100/1000" or 1/10" high. Different manufacturers' versions are slightly different. Opinion seems to be that the Atlas flex in either size is the most flexible. Others flex, but don't go back easily, so if you make a mistake, you can't just let it return to straight... Code 100 in HO would represent the newest, heaviest rail in use in the 1:1 world. If you are picky about such things, and don't run a modern layout, Code 100 would simply be too big... In my era (1920s & 30s) I really should be using Code 70 or even 55. Andrew
