  Re: New Idea for Rail Ties
 
(...) How to do this:(my thoughts) Have .5 M or 20 inch lengths (enough to cover 2 32x plates). Use a 1" or 2" fixed end at both ends, with a sliding fit into or over the flexable pieces. This would let you have (if you used 2" lenghts, 3" travel (...) (24 years ago, 23-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.trains)

Prolly. <tie spacing> American practice is to have a rather weird spacing that varies from one tie to the next and which is spaced so that the average distance apart is such that it does not match anyone's stride walking or running. This is (...) (24 years ago, 22-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.trains)

(...) Prolly not high enough either. It would look better with 1x1 tiles on the outside instead of 1x2s. (...) The coloring is going to be a problem because if we make the ties dark gray, there will be no color distinction between bed and tie. That (...)

(...) Kind of pretty. I see a few minor problems, though: - the underlayment of black doesn't go out far enough - track ties are never brown.

WOW! Even in its early stages, that is the coolest train station I've seen in a long time! I've always wanted to do a station with a big, arched roof like that, but I never got around to it. Your train looks great as well! Do you have more shots of (...) (24 years ago, 22-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: New Idea for Rail Ties
 
Now that looks REALLY good. Gulps down quite a few tiles though. There might also be call for light grey tiles, for those who wish to model concrete ties. And black ones, for heavily-creosoted wood ties. And and and :) Let's hear it for bulk (...) (24 years ago, 21-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains)
