If you're using Atlas rail joiners, the fret to which they're attached is also nickel silver. If you trim it, then tin it and the top of the rail, you should be able to solder it in place. That should bring the rail's top up to where it should be.

The Atlas rail joiners are extreme weak and forgiving objects but I assume (will see when I have them in front of me) that the rail head of a code 100 rail is higher than the rail head of a code 83. I intend to sand the code 100 crossing at the bottom (the plastic part) down until the rail heads are at the same level. right?
Than cut the old one out (Dremel cutting wheel), drop the new one in and solder it (with or without rail joiners). I assume the code 100 crossing has exactly the same dimensions as the code 83?
The new one will arrive mid/end next week. I will report back here.
