Rail Joiners - Code 83

Used in place of code 70 with code 70 ME rails. A bit snug but they provide a strong hold. If one uses an assembly fixture, it is better to slide rail joiner into place first and solder PC board after. Putting too much stress on rail joiner once rail is soldered to PC board may break soldering. Same is true when spiking rails. The best approach is to join all rails needed for a given length first and then proceed with spiking.

Although a bit small for my big fingers to grasp, these ME joiners are tighter and a better fit to code 83 track than Atlas joiners.

I really like the length of these joiners but the fit is extremely tight, such that I had to spread the slot with a jewelers screwdriver and file the ends of the rail to get them to go on. Once on, it's very difficult to make any adjustments to the position of the joiners.

good joiners to use for code 83 rail. tight fit.

Great joiners fit the profile well. May need a joiner tool to open enough to install. I used a tack. Overall good product
