On the section of layout that I posted above, my modified version of the "Third Street Industrial District," the main and the passing siding are both laid with Code 83 and all sidings are Code 70 (with wider spaced ties.) I have had no problems with either height rail, but all my equipment rolls on RP25 wheelsets, checked against an NMRA gauge. I also used spikes with small heads as I spiked down my rail (on every tie.)
Care in laying track pays big dividends down the line. Impatience while laying track ... being in a hurry to get it down to see trains run ... will be a big disappointment to you in the end as the derailments caused by rushing will be with you forever!
Take your time ... do it right the first time ... you won't be sorry!
