Reply to "H O track."

In my opinion, you're likely to have fewer derailments with code 100 track than with code 83. In HO (1:87 scale), code 100 scales to a rail height of 8.7 inches. Code 83 scales to a rail height of 7.2 inches. By comparison, Atlas O gauge rails (1:48) are approximately code 200, which scales to a rail height of 9.6 inches, so HO code 100 and 83 are closer to scale height than 3-rail O gauge. Wheel flange depth is also less likely to be an issue on code 100 rail. I'm an O gauge modeler so I'm not an expert on HO...
