Reply to "How many of you hand lay your own rail?"

Thanks for the kind words, guys, appreciate it….

I have to say I’m glad I only have the one spur to do with a 3 way stub switch and not the whole layout. It’s truly a labor of love…. The hardest and longest part is sanding down the ties.  There isn’t enough room and too much elevation change to sand one side and then glue them down and use a belt sander.  Instead I take a twig and hold it against a disc sander with a board then tun it 180 degrees and do the other side. It’s hard to get the thickness correct. I try for exact or just too thick that I can adjust by hand sanding.  If anyone has any ideas 💡how to make this process easier I’d you you to share……

Dual gauge crossings are fun too!
