John, My spiker was similar to yours: code 70 and 100, with seven boxes of spikes. I sold it on eBay in 2006 for $400. -Wes

The framewrk was done in Kim Koski's shop. ALL the track and scenery was done in my basement . I did not do it . George Rickets and others did the track. It worked. You should have seen my electric bill for 3 months. Quite a large group worked We had that layout at Madison , Wis. What is a spiker worth? I have one for Codes 7 & 100, and boxes of spikes. At 90 I'm backing out S except for traction modeling.
