Golden Spike, another version. - Charlie B - 05-03-2019
I got this from a friend and thought I should share it with fellow modelers. There are some serious dangers in model railroading.

I can't imagine passing that spike naturally

Thanks Charlie, a nicely written warning for those of us with a low threshold for pain and surprises....

I can't believe someone would be stupid enough to put things that small in their mouth! He says it was Z scale? Didn't even know they made 1:220 spikes.

From the State of California comes yet another health warning. "Studies have found HO scale spikes is hazardous to your health and should be installed by trained professionals".
I use a baby food jar lid for holding HO spikes while laying track.
