The flexible rail bends easily into smooth curves and straights, letting you build custom layouts without splicing dozens of fixed sections together. Code 83 rail height is the modern HO standard for realistic running, matching prototype rail proportions far better than older Code 100 systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLooking for more HO track and accessories?
