Title: Gauge 1 track spikes?
Post by: SandiaPaul on May 07, 2014, 06:36:27 AM
Does anyone make these? All I can find is Micro Engineering spikes that are "1/2" long" no other description.
They don't need to be super fine fidelity wise...just look like a spike, its just for a display piece. I'm using LGB rail that I am taking off the molded ties.

Thanks,

Paul

KB scale http://www.kbscale.com/ they do some nice ones - also Peco do them ( heavy versions) both based in England but they offer a good service
But a Health Warning more to your wallet KB Scale Love ripping you off with the Post & Packing just check before you buy them cost for something like that should be no more the cost of first class stamp but saying that do offer nice products and a pretty good service

Forget to say both the track spikes are vastly over scale for the smaller scales but just right for the bigger stuff

We always used HO or O scale spikes for 1:32n3, usually from Micro Engineering, but a company in Florida called Old Pullman still specializes in 1:32 standard gauge. Along with some rolling stock Old Pullman had an extensive line of rail, turnouts, spikes, and associated components:
