Only the top inside edge of the rails needs to line up so code 125 track
could be used with code 100 or code 139 from a mechanical perspective. and the
real railroads use compromise joiners all over the place so it also looks right
from a conceptual perspective although the scale sizes might be exaggerated a
bit.
I like the idea of a new concrete ties flextrack as that's the new thing in
the prototype world.I used to pull code 148 rail out of O scale Atlas tie
strips and replace it with code 125 rail (it was a bit loose but ran fine) so
maybe S scalers could pull the code 125 rail out of the concrete tie strips and
replace it with code 100 if desired? ...DaveBranum
