Representing "main" vs industrial spur track

[Engfanuk]

Thanks Matt, extreme recycling:-) you are right it is interesting. It made me think perhaps I could replace some of the ties on the sections that lead onto the switch and detail the Peco code 75 European concrete tie switch to match a North American switch.

However having researched the prototype more it seems only the Tri-rail track is concrete ties and the CSX main track is just better maintained. As a switching layout most of my track will be rougher industrial looking and therefore like your sidings. The main I mention is only a single track five feet long that no train really runs over.

I think based on work vs visual Impact I'll stick to ME code 70 and add a very thin underlay to crest a shoulder and ballast neater.

Thanks for your thoughts though.

Steve.
