Initially I'm planning on going NMRA standards and only spiking every fifth tie, the tie plates I found at Proto:87 are incredible looking but almost prohibitively expensive to use on a room-sized layout. I like the idea of adding them in down the road, and as far as I know, spiking every five ties should let me fairly easily pull up my rail and put tie plates down in sections when I get around to it. That's the plan currently.
