QUOTE: Originally posted by Dr. John On this date (May 10) in 1869, a golden spike was hammered in at Promontory, Utah, marking the completion of the transcontinental railroad. I have heard of at least two model railroads that had golden spike ceremonies: John Allen's second version of his HO Gorre & Daphetid and the O scale Sierra Pacific. In both cases, the modelers had small golden spikes fashioned and small markers placed on the layouts to commemorate the completion of the respective mainlines. Have any of you had a golden spike ceremony on your layout?
