basically you've got it. However, code 100 is still a little large for exact scale purposes if that matters (i use 100 exclusively). Code 83 is really the best match for modern mainline rail. However, code 100 is used by most people because it is often cheaper to get and the slightly oversized rail can eliminate a few problems if the track isn't exactly/perfectly laid or if some of your rolling stock has oversized flanges (some older AHM/Roco/or European made)
