Track rail weight

[NW Mailing List]

I'm getting ready to start building some dioramas and I need to order model
track. Is there a specific rail weight that N&W use for the mainline in the
50's?
I get the impression that Code 83 is more appropriate for today, and Code
100 is better for steam era? Is this accurate?

Ho Scale Code 83 is equivalent to 132 lb rail
Ho Scale Code 100 is equivalent to 156 lb rail

Thanks
Mike Rector
