[:)] Hi all

My question is do Peco HO 83 turnout match with Atlas HO 83 track. If not does anyone know the difference in height between the two.

Thanks

I mix Peco Code 83 turnouts with Atlas Code 83 flex track on my layout.

The profiles do not exactly match, but they are close enough so that there are no derailment issues.

My home layout is a mix of Peco and Atlas code 83 track. The base of Peco rail is narrower than Atlas rail, and a Peco rail joiner won’t fit over Atlas rail; but an Atlas rail joiner will fit loosely over Peco rail and can be squeezed slightly so it is a tight fit.

Thanks again fellas.
