However, I did never hand lay any tracks and it is pure speculation.
Spot on, Reinhard.
The gauge of 16.5mm remains the same for both, however, the code 100 is not only higher than the code 75 but also wider. Therefore, the width of the head of the rail would have to be thinned down which would be apparent when viewed end on, as would be the case here, so postponing until out of view wouldn't matter.
I hope that makes sense :?
Thanks for your interest, Reinhard.
