Regarding the Kadee spiker... <br /> <br />Several years ago, I wanted to get one to try out hand-laying track. I e-mailed Kadee, and recieved an answer... <br /> <br />The Kadee spiker has been discontinued (liability concerns, from what I've been able to glean from elsewhere on the net). BUT..... <br /> <br />You can get a parts list and exploded drawing of the spiker. And you can still order replacement parts... <br /> <br />Translation - they'll sell you a bunch of independent harmless parts, if you put them together into and eye-seeking missle machine, well, that's YOUR responsibility :) <br /> <br />If you are good mechanically, you'll be able to put one together, I think. I never got that far. <br /> <br />I don't know if they still sell all the parts for them. <br /> <br />I have tried laying hand-laid switches several times, but can never seem to complete one... ah, well... <br /> <br />Good luck with your decision.
