I am preparing for another painting run and wanted to paint some plain ties so I could lay them next to the track when ballasting is done. I had lots of Atlas code 100 ties but for one thing, they were only textured on some of the top and for another the texturing that they did have was pretty crappy. I decided to rough them up a little with a fine sanding drum on my Dremel. Now they have really fine scratches that look a lot more like scale wood grain. A great way to make those plastic ties look more wooden. <br /> <br />My question is this: when ties were left by the side of the track, being leftovers or whatever, were they left in stacks or singles, and parallel or perpendicular to the track. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. <br />Thanks, <br />Reed
