A weird use of spikes

[FJ and G]

I'm running low on spikes and am searching for a place to purchase some, when I came across a rather unusual website:

I use those things all the time Dave. Shows you what banjo players know. [swg]

Maybe we should try making banjo signals out of real banjos. Nah.[:O] [8][:P][;)]

As I mentioned once before, I like to use prototype railroad spikes to put weight in (empty) tenders and in baggage and express cars, which tend to be lighter than the passenger cars behind them.
