What is the difference between Code 100 and Code 83 track?
When you see a piece of code 83 rail you are looking at track that has a rail height of . 083″, code 100 is . 100″ high. Code 83 is probably the most popular in the hobby due to the fact that it is the closest to that used by prototype railroads.
Is HO or N scale more expensive?
N and HO scales are the two most common worldwide standards for model trains an common question for those thinking about this wonderful hobby then is which is cheaper. The answer is undoubtedly that while both are inexpensive to started, N scale is cheaper than HO scale in the long run.
What is the difference between Code 70 and Code 83 track?
Some layouts will make use of different codes of rail. For example you could use code 83 rail on your main lines and code 70 for sidings and spurs, this simulates the lighter rail used on prototypes. The wheel flanges on some older rolling stock are larger and do not allow the wheel to seat down on the rail properly.

What is a ho train set?
An HO scale train is approximately twice the size of a comparable N scale train, and theoretically half the size of an O scale train. Lionel trains don’t adhere very closely to standards. So an HO scale set can end up taking up about the same amount of space as a Lionel O gauge set, but Lionel sacrifices some scale fidelity in order to do so.
