Plain steel code 70 HO rails

No I am English but live in New York. I know the difference between brass and nickel silver, thanks...
If no one thinks ME nickel silver rail has a buttery, yellow cast, I give up! It just doesn't look right to me. Thanks anyway. Appreciate your time.

Btw in case anyone else looks at C&L Code 75 flatbottom there is no comparison with US prototype as dimensionally the head or top of the rail is the wrong size too. There's an interesting page on the Fast Tracks site that list all the dimensions of various rail, it's quite interesting....

Best, Pete.

Hi Pete
C+L actually stock code 70 FB albeit NS however with C+Ls nickel rail they use a slightly different nickel content and I've never seen their rail go yellowy (I've got several batches of their code 83 FB rail thats been sat in a moist and humid garage without issue) however you are now in NY so thats not all that helpful. (plus you seem dead set on Steel)
