Those are looking good,
One thing with ties is they usually go bad in groups so distressing some more ties in one area leaving some "new" ties in between to keep the rail in gauge can really further the effect. I have been wanting to buy some of the Proto87 tie plates and crudding up some real wood ties in order to model some ties that have shifted or have bunched togheter over time. Keep up the great work on your layout and keep posting your pictures!!
