Code 90 and 3/32" are the figures given in the catalogue - besides 2.3 mm, of course. For Trix C Track they write it were code 83. If the height is 2.1 mm then that would make it code 82.

I Believe that code 100 is actually 100/1000 of an inch, code 83 is 83/1000 of an inch. I have measured C track and it is indeed 90/1000 of an inch. This is a very old imperial form of measure used in mechanical engineering. Kimball
