I admit, this was pretty nerve-wracking, but it let me use code 55 for everything. You could also just shim the approach rails with some cardstock so the top of the rails line up.
I think there is a PDF on Walther's site on installing the bridge and roundhouse.
Hope this helps, but ask any particular questions you may have, and I'll try to get Bruce to answer them!

I started building the round house, and went ahead and used code 55 for the tracks, extending them on out of the round house about 2 1/2 inches or so.. Used CA glue to hold them in. I'll cut them back as need when I mount it with the turntable. Cool tip on replacing the code 80 rails with code 55, I may do that. It'll be a while before I'm ready to do that though, I wasn't ready for the round houses, but, couldn't resist, 50% of the 3 style, and a 3 style add on at Hobby Town!! Then, I couldn't resist the urge to start putting it together! 
Thanks, Billy
