I have used Miller tie strip extensively since 1972, and it works fine. Code 
100 rail has enough side to side play that NASG wheels work just fine on it.

A year or so ago, I laid in a new supply, and use the rail from HO Code 100 
flex-trak, which is cheaper than buying a bundle of rail.

Like Bob says, some of the Sunset stuff was too narrow, but I have devised a 
way to make it work, too, at least on yard storage tracks
