Atlas identifies this part for Code 83 and Code 100 rails. When changing from one rail height to the other, check railhead alignment and use the transition method specified for your track.

Questions about this product

Which Atlas codes are on the package?

The label identifies HO Code 83 and Code 100.

Does a metal joiner isolate an electrical block?

Choose an insulating joiner for a deliberate electrical break. These are metal joiners.

Why check the running surface at the joint?

The codes have different rail heights. Match the railheads so wheels can cross the joint without meeting a step.
