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 Bob Nicholson ________________________________________ --- In [email protected], Bob Werre <bob@...> wrote: > > Dave, I used the Miller strip when I was a teen in South Dakota where I > had a basement layout.
