I was a little disappointed I had to do that - ME spikes USED to look small! They still have their place - they aren't too bad as rail braces alongside switchpoints. I'll be trying the near-scale sized spikes from Proto87 sometime in the future out of curiosity; then I can decide where the pain is more acceptable - handling very small spikes, or trimming larger ones.
Thanks for the comments tetters.
