LIke the subject lines says, looking for sources that sell rail, ties and all the other stuff necessary for hand-laying 2-rail track. Not saying I'm committed yet to hand-laying. But, want to talk with a supplier or two on the availability and cost of all required materials.
Thanks so much for your help.

Got my rail from Right-O-Way, cut my ties from white pine boards, used Weldwood to fasten ties and a belt sander to level the tops after the glue set.
I always wished I could find spike pliers - used needle-nose.
made about six gauge blocks that hold the rail head in place while spiking.
My brother made a bunch of rail benders for "Trackside." Did not think they were necessary until I tried one. Almost essential, even for my 74" radius curves.
Rail, frogs, points etc. from Jay at Right-O-Way (http://www.right-o-way.us), ties, rail bender and other supplies from handlaidtrack.com.
For unusual, double slip, threeway or custom curved stuff Brad at http://signatureswitchco.com
