Thanks, Bill. I’m trying to make it look as realistic as possible. The two ties in the foreground are going to be replaced with switch ties that will hold an MP main track switchstand off of the Carthage Sub. When we get it surfaced all the way, I am going to spread 2″ granite ballast on top for looks. The rail is 110 pound. I intend to rattle spike it and add anchors. It is two sticks of rail in length – 78 feet. So, it should be good for another cab or maybe a locomotive.
