im surprised, i alway thought peco only did them in brown.
what does the rail nail look on yours ? mine have a rectangular shoes with 2 nail on each side
AFAIK code 83 is always brow, code 100 always black. this is consistent with at least atlas , peco and ME it seems (have several pieces in C83...), not sure about the rest.
Jul, i will try to answer your question when i'm home.
My four year-old Peco Code 83 turnout ties are black. I don't imagine they'd goof and have turnouts with black ties while selling Code 83 flex with brown ties, unless they sell both?
