John,
A few thoughts, though not used originally, tie plates AND Ballast will greatly extend tie life and track gauge. Considering the long-term budget, these are important considerations!
Two, some of us (yes, we may be in the minority) cannot access Facebook (for me it's because I only have a dial-up internet connection--I live in a canyon in the boonies), but this forum is accessible, so more pics please!!! Or a simple web page (limited graphics!!) would work too.
Think what y'all are doing is tremendous!
