Hand laid track

I like to do two things in HO scale, detailing locomotives and handlaying track. There is real pleasure in laying down ties, rail, and spiking it in place. At a distance from real-life tracks spikes are hard to see so the unprototypical spike only here and there is not a problem. My very first hand-built switch operated smooth as silk and better than store-bought. Flex is a little cheaper but you save big-time with hand-made switches and more are more satisfied in operation.
