With O27 track, before I decided to go with Ross track/switches, I played around with using tubular rail (which I had a lot of at the time), I took the rails off the metal ties, and I built curves and straights using wood ties (I bought wood from the craft store, prob 1/4" square) since this was POC. used a piece of track on either end of the rails to hold them in alignment, and then glued ties to the track (I think I used gorilla glue), and then I 'stained' the ties using a brown marker, and then did some "rust" on the rails, and given what a hack it was, it didn't look half bad. If I was constrained by cost, I would have used tubular, spiked the rails to the ties and do the staining right.
