Distressed Ties

[Fluesheet]

Thanks for the comments, guys.

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!!

Agreed. I'll be distressing more here and there - the more that are distressed, the more that need it.

Be careful with the proto 87 ties. They are:
1 - Very small
2 - Somewhat addictive
3 - Will make all your other tie plates look too big
