Re: Code 83 flex track
Isn¡¯t code 100 around 110 pd? That¡¯s a good size for 1925 through the most railroads transition. Wouldn¡¯t code 83 be a we bit light for main line steam larger than consolidation? Mike Swederska

Re: Code 83 flex track
Ted, If I was just starting, I would lean heavily to the #83 size with 70 for industrial stuff!? My main is #126, industrial is #100, a couple of short spurs are 83 and a branchline is 70 Tomalco
