Chris,
Thanks for the detailed answer.
Awhile back I purchased Kappler ties from 1st Place Hobbies and their prices were very good. I have been compiling another order but their website has been down and I'm not sure if it's due to the severe storms in the mid-west, the economy or if their prices were just too low.
Northeastern Scale Lumber offers O scale ties but not in low profile.
Does Lou cut his own ties or are they Kappler ties?
Thanks again,
Matt
...and nice track handiwork...four spikes plus tie plates...whew!
