My first serious layout (just demolished last summer) was code .125 hand-laid and ran virtually flawlessly except where my cheap benchwork created levelness issues around some turnouts. I salvaged the majority of the trackwork and turnouts. The rail is little tall but once weathered that goes away some. I'm interested in the concrete ties to go along with the salvaged track using the latter in sidings side-by-side with concrete. Ben Trousdale
