About 10 years ago I made an elevated "display track" for taking photos of my models on it. An issue with model photography is getting the model higher than the center of the lens. So I made the display track 3 feet long and about 4" high. A friend sceniced both sides in various mini scenes but I settled on using the "grassy high fill" side all the time. Almost all of the models on my website until my most recent photos are taken on it.
I used Right o Way code 125 rail and tie plates. I estimated there are 700+ spikes used in that 3 feet of track. It took an obscene amount of time to do. While it looks nice I can't imagine anyone trying to keep that level of detail going for an entire layout. I was pretty sure I was done with hand laying track when I made my first modular yard. 20 years ago. This "little" project sealed it! NO hand laying of track has happened since.
