Is it possible to replace the Kato Unitrack code 80 rail with code 55? Here's the context: A key scenic feature on the layout I'm building is a city street in Tokyo (Waseda-Dori Ave.) crossed by the railroad (JR East and Seibu-Shinjuku). The four JR East tracks cross the street via a deck girder bridge. Three are on straight track, the fourth is curving around the end of the island station, also crossing the street. Kato has both the straight and curved deck girder bridges that appear to have the correct prototype look. That's ideal. And the curved Kato deck girder bridge may be the correct radius for my needs. Another bonus. The complication: I plan to use Atlas Code 55 flex track for the rest of layout. I like the look better. My thought is to replace the code 80 rail in the Kato Unitrack bridges with code 55 rail that I have on hand. Has anyone tried this? Any feedback on the process or the results? Thanks

I'm searching for the best online seller of Kato Unitrack, I'm located in the states but ok with buying from suppliers from around the globe if the shipping is not too expensive and the items packed well. Any and all input greatly appreciated!
