Not that this really matters...
Snipping half of the spike head off is what I did to my ME spikes when I began spiking rail to my pier. The ME spike heads are way too big and by snipping off half of the head they sit flush on the base of the rail and don't shove the rail out of gauge when its fully inserted into the tie. Yes it takes some time, but its well worth it.
Great looking track work Flue. This is going to be really fun to watch!
