Code 75 is certainly much finer. Apart from the rail height, the points and flex track in general are more flexible and take shaping better (as the rail is less substantial). Trade offs include the fact you need to replace or re-wheel / bogie any older stock and that the tolerances are generally tighter, so its easier for stuff to derail. On the pro side, its a lot more prototypical (and less trainset) looking, its easier to lay and curve. On balance tho, if you've already a lot of 100, I'd stick with it. You can also get peco widgets to let you transition from 75 to 100. So you could maybe buy 75 concrete track for the mainline and use the code 100 in the sidings or yards?

Cheers 201! I've a few older mehano TGV's and I'm partial to some of the Atlantic stock

Very nice! Recommend any good stockists?

For Soldering, I'd recommend: Draper 40W Soldering iron http://www.halfords.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_11101_catalogId_15551_productId_154788_langId_-1_categoryId_212549 Under 20 euro and replacement tips are readily available. To go with it, but any standard 'electronic' lead free solder (not the plumbing type) Again, Halfords have a roll for a few euro http://www.halfords.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_11101_catalogId_15551_productId_196405_langId_-1_categoryId_212549 You'll find similar in most hardware/electrical shops if you're not near a halfords (or you can buy them online). In terms of 'useful accessories' I use / would recommend something like the following: - http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Helping-Hand-Glass-Magnifying-Adjustable-4-Model-Airfix-Great-For-Soldering-/400375217743?pt=UK_ToysGames_ModelKits_ModelKits_JN&hash=item5d3838fe4f Handy for holding components and perfect for grabbing wires for tinning, etc. The magnifying glass is also useful for small detail work. - http://www.ebay.ie/itm/New-5x-Universal-Cleaning-Sponge-56-x-56-x-2mm-Solder-Iron-Yellow-Cloth-Pad-161-/120984793697?pt=UK_Home_Garden_PowerTools_SM&hash=item1c2b417261 Needed for cleaning the iron tip when using - http://www.ebay.ie/itm/CK-Automatic-Wire-Stripper-495001-Brand-New-/130329732810?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item1e5841e6ca Auto wire stripper - trust me, you'll wonder how you lived without one of these! For dropper wire ( to solder to the tracks), I use: - http://radionics.rs-online.com/web/p/security-alarm-cable/5102202/ In addition, a few pliers, tweezers, and bits and bobs are handy, but that's everything you'll need to safely and comfortably solder your layout

Wiring is the easy bit (in my book anyway ) We're here to help
