I honestly didn’t know Gargraves made plastic ties. My biggest issue with Gargraves (and Ross) is the wood ties are not scale looking. Are the plastic ties closer to scale?
Now please understand that I don’t want to divert the discussion here to what looks better. I am just looking for clarity on the Gargraves plastic for my own information, and to get a better idea of what people are comparing to the Gargraves wood ties.
Since I started this topic, I want to answer your question directly, after obtaining more information.
As strummer stated GG brown wood and black plastic ties are the same size. I am attaching a photo. Note that the last tie on the wood section, and the last tie on the plastic section have been "Swapped". This was as simple as sliding the ties off and then sliding back on. The photo shows the appearance difference.
Since I started this thread, I will mention the overall appearance. I started a seperate thread on that topic, here is the link;

The attached picture shows old Lionel Super O (left) verses GG, look closely to see difference between GG Plastic and Wood ties.
Hope this helps others looking at this thread, who had my original question.
