Mark,

What area of the C&S are you modeling?  (I'm working on a small shelf layout, maybe more of a diorama, at Longmont)  I have some track charts showing rail weights, north of Denver, that might be of some use in answering your question.  I will say that I am using codes 70 and 55 as you describe.  Code 100 is cheap and easy, but way oversize.  Code 83 still is oversize but could be considered a reasonable compromise.

This may be off topic but need some help.I'm working on a C&S standard gauge layout and trying to figure rail size for a 1920's-1940's era layout.The main power 2-8-2's,4-6-2's,and 2-8-0's.Some have said use code 100 flex track(that's all that's available locally).I'm leaning towards code 70 for main line,& code 55 for the yards and branch lines,but,I want to be as accurate as I can.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance Mark McCoy tavwot@yahoo.com
