Ken,
Yup, the spikes are a bit of an issue but I think the Walthers spikes look better than the ME small spikes, especially with the code 125 rail. I'm still waiting on my order of ME micro spikes but the head size might just be identical to their small spikes.

Initially I tried the Walthers spikes with code 100 rail but was not pleased with the results. I do have the P:87 Stores stainless steel spikes but installing them pushes my patience to the brink. This test with steel rail (vs NS rail) was an eye opener and now I'm trying to decide to build my layout with code 100 steel rail and P:87 spikes or code 125 and Walthers spikes.

...I did space the rails to 56.5" so I can sleep at night.

Thanks everyone for the nice feedback.
