Marc,
your last photo's definitely pulled me over to building something in 1:35. I'll give details of my idea's in a separate post.

You keep saying that , Jacq, but we still haven't seen anything yet , Nick |

The track looks great! I like the tie with the bands around the ends to keep it from splitting.

That is the kind of detail and realism I love to see in railroad modeling. A switching diorama built to that standard is far more interesting to me than one of those basement size behemoths. -- Russ

Detail of the trackwork looks great ... guess I'll have to remember that I'm in the "bigger scale" when I get that far ...
QUESTION: What does the section with 6 rails represent? Not being a wise guy (this time!) ... just not getting it at the moment ...

Thanks guys.
Dallas;
The area with the 6 rails is for a road crossing...I have seen them done like this, as well as more/continuous rails laid between the tracks.

Ah! Well that makes sense ... and, you know, now that you've got little benches for the people and playing cards and road crossings and all that stuff ... you might actually have to add some LP's and finish the Volks-cart and so forth. Maybe Jacq will design a nice "easy to build" diorama setting for you! Trackwork is definitely inspiring ... (PS -- I think Jacq's design posted elsewhere looks GREAT ... but definitely not easy.)  -- Dallas |

Hi Marc, Great job! I find here in France stamped brass "screw spike", the square head is 0.6mm, and round head is 1.2mm..., the point is 0.6mm dia. and about 8mm long.  Here a track sample, on wood ties, ME code 70 rail, fastened with this "screw spike"...   Franck |

Hi Fred, you can find them from the French Association "Le Cercle du Zéro" but you must be a member, or from the French shop L'Octant, #PR 102, qty : 2500, $20.00 Franck |

Just a thought , Nick |

Stop! Hee-hah! Whoa!
Is that photo of weed grown, dirt ballasted track -- next to a hedge -- real or a model? That's code 70 track and not 35 pound rail? Who built it, Franck -- you? Where is the giveaway that it is a model? Most satisfactory.

That's great Franck... very convincing. You wouldn't by any chance think of doing an SBS on your track laying, ballast and ground cover techniques? I expect there are many here who would find it of great value. As far as dealing the spikes, only when Russ isn't watching... Maybe what we need is an underground supply line, black market so to speak... Paul |
