@DL&W Pete posted:The thickness of the tie's are different on all. The thinnest tie is the fox valley flex track, then comes the fox valley switch and finally shs flex track.
The rail height is different on all three, shs flex is the highest. Then fox valley switch and the fox valley flex is the lowest.
As for the size of the rail itself, it's all even.
@DL&W Pete posted:You are correct Tom, the closest match with the fox valley switch tie height is shs flex. But it's still a few hairs higher than the switch.
Without your calipers, this is mostly meaningless. But as Tom said, just shim the difference if it’s that great. For what it worth, I can tell you when I was testing turnouts, I went for .137” rail to .148” rail without any transition. I used the .148” rail joiner. Testing consisted of scale, Hi-rail and Flyer wheels. Scale wheels were not fazed by the difference.
