CODE 83 RAIL

[NW Modeling List]

Before transition sections and transition joiners were as  readily available 
as they are now, I made my own by shimming under the smaller  rail's ties 
similar to what Cal described, putting a larger size (e.g. code 100)  on the 
larger rail, flattening the rest of the joiner with pliers, aligning the  smaller 
rail and finally soldering the smaller rail to the flattened top of the  
joiner.  Easier to do than to describe!

Hi  Bob,

I believe Atlas makes 100-83 transition sections that are about 3”  long.  If 
it isn’t Atlas, its somebody – I have seen them.

I have a  question.. I have a lot of code 100 already laid... using code 83 
to  continue would be nice, but is there a transitional piece of track or  
something to use to bridge the two together without an unsightly bump in the  
railjoint?

FWIW, I am using Atlas 83 for the first  time and love it.  It seems  ot be 
much easier to work with than  the Atlas 100 I have used in the past,  plus I 
think that it looks a  lot more realistic.  For my turnouts and  crossovers, I 
have  been using Shinohara instead of the Atlas.  I used  some Atlas  pieces 
and replaced them b/c I just didn't like the way the cars  would bobble going 
over the frogs.

As  the big day approaches to start laying  track, any thoughts on the best  
size?  Hopefully folks with  more experience can advise if you've had  good 
results with code 83  (or smaller???) from an operability, construction,  cost 
and  appearance standpoint?  Any feelings on brand names that  have  worked 
well for you?  At the cost of some of those #8 turnouts I  sure don't want to 
make a mistake!  (Even worse to have a J  fall 4 feet  to the ground).



Thanks!!
