My knee jerk reaction is I have 0 interest in "real" wood ties, assembled into a RTR type product, at any price.
Wood (pine??) when cut into ties still exhibits its 1:1 scale wood grain pattern.
When handlaying, one can deal with it by distressing the ties a little before the rails are laid. In a RTR product, it would be much harder to deal with the grain pattern / I would rather spend a little time on Micro Engineering flex track with some paint instead.
As for code, I have used 148 as it is what has been commonly available.
I would much prefer to go to 125.
So, my dream is ME will produce high quality Code 125 #6 turnouts to match their already available flex track.
