However, when operating your trains, can you really see the difference between High-rail and scale wheelsets? Or the difference in height of the rail? The difference in height is about 1/32".

Well, yes, no and maybe. While I posed a lot of my HiRail stuff on my former code 100 railroad, I certainly couldn't run them on it.

Although I'll admit in operation on larger rail, it does get difficult to notice.

When I ran a video taken at this train show in 2001 to a very detailed-oriented HO modeller, he didn't even notice the claw couplers until I pointed them out. nod Even the AM's code 148 rail isn't that noticeable.

I am considering moving up to Fox Valley track whenever I get around to building a new layout. It may be scale, it may be HiRail, it may be hybrid with the turnout mod. Haven't decided.
