code 125 tie plates

 

      In my previous post I'd mentioned wanting to lay track with code 100 rail. Someone

   posted the rail equivalent (thanks, by the way) of code 100 as being 75 lbs rail. That 

   seemed a little light for my layout which will be loosely based on an early 90's UP 

   branch line. I've decided on code 125 and found some tie plates on a site  called

   Shapeways. They look nice but I was curious how wide these are as I'm using 1/4"

   wide ties. My question is are these any wider than 1/4"?  Thanks for any info. I'm

   experimenting with coloring ties right now and hope to post a pic or two next week-

  -end if I find something that looks good.
