i use aluminum rail and hand cut pressure treated ties (use a face mask when cutting)--i attach the track to the ties a little differently--i drill four holes through the ties and push bared #12 electrical wire up through them--i then crimp the wire to either side of each rail with nipper pliers--i learned this technique from a seminar by jim stark several years ago--he used concrete ties he cast but the same system works for cut ties--i am using the trex system discribed by old dad on my latest layout
