Track ? Revisted

[traindaddy1]

Many, many, many posts on this subject before (please bear with me) but one last question.

Every year, about this time, I re-evaluate my present layout.  Not wanting to leave the "tubular O27" world, I would like to add a little more realism.  Based on your experience, what have you seen, made or purchased lately in the way of extra ties for these tracks?

As always, many thanks.

 I got a little bit Of super K, if you don't know its basically 0-27 with extra more realistic ties, since it is no longer in production if you want some now may be the general time a few years from now you may have to settle for used if anyone is selling.

Popsicle sticks--that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

If you go to the main bar up top and click on "Videos & Reviews", the latest version of "Bob's Train Box" has some information on a company that offers some pre-made ties to add to your track.

Wise Man and Dennis:  Thanks.

Bob:  Great idea BUT the "Chief Engineer" says that I'm already eating too many popsicles.

I had a thread a while back on some track I was working on for a friend. It was basically hand laid track but used O-27 rail.

You can buy packs of popsicle sticks at craft shops such as Michael's  and A.C.Moore.

 

While you're there have a look around. I find many things there I use on the layout.

If you just want to add more ties you can buy them from a company called 3 R plastics. They make plastic ties for O, 027 and AF track. I have some and they really improve the look of the track.
