    Rail Sizes in HO

    I understand the difference between code 100, code 83 and code 70, but am unsure which of these to use. Is there a difference in the # of derailments with one over the other? What was the size that "real" railroads used. Does any of this matter?

    Laying Track

    If I were to lay track (I'm still undecided), what exactly goes under the track? I know I need a sub bed (cork, foam) but should anything go between that and the plywood I'm using for a platform. I'm ready to start experimenting but I want to be on the right "track" first (a bit of humor)...
