Peco vs Micro Engineering code 83 flex track - Model Railroader Magazine

After completion of the benchwork and just before the great Atlas track snafu I purchased a stick of Atlas, M.E. and Shinohara code 83.  I liked the looks of the M.E. and the tie height and rail matched the turnouts I was going to use. 

Did take some research and practice to get the hang of forming the M.E., I find using metal rules and straight and radius track gauges helpful.  For me the extra effort in forming the more delicate M.E. is worth the looks and I ended up liking how it keeps it's shape.  

The M.E. keeping it's form also helps when spray painting the track off the layout, no sliding rail holidays to touch up after laying.

good luck, regards,  Peter
