Rail spikes in Feb. issue

The aricle concerning the brige over Trout Creek was very interesting. Where would I find the rail spikes. I would appreciate any information as I am always learning something new.

The ones I used were from Micro Engineering, and were 1/2" long. I can't seem to locate a web site for Micro Engineering, nor do they advertise in GR, but they are carried by some hobby shops. Caboose Hobbies and California and Oregon Coast both carry them. C&OC also carries Llagas Creek spikes, which are very similar.

Later,

I have seen stuff from Micro engineering previously and they were quite unique nd interesting. Whatever it was that i was investigating i did not use as i have not got up to it yet.

I remember; Jigstones have the plans for a "G" scale 4 sided clock tower, with working and illuminated clockfaces. I am working on other stuff now but i hope to get onto that next winter, say from May on. I cannot do much stuff like that here in the summer as it is just too hot.
