The real CSX has done this in two ways in my hometown. First they used compromise plates that conform to the two rail heights. The base of the smaller rail is visibly above the heavier - 115# and 132# in this case. This past year these compromise plates were removed and short sections of cast rail of two weights were welded in place. These sections are about 10' feet long and are painted yellow and lettered with the two rail sizes - 115# and 136#. I can post pictures if anyone is interested.

Is there anyone else that has been quietly thinking about starting as well? We could go off line and swap ideas. I don't see myself taking them to a convention since if I drive there is no room for my wife. But it sure would be great to have some new modules to run on. The thoughts of making new modules have been flowing for the past few days for me. For simplicity I should just use all code 100. But I really would like to make the mainlines from the SHS code 125 flex track since it is PRR mainline track. Does anyone know where there is code 125 to code 100 transition rails available? How did the prototype railroad do this? Do you have a photo?
