Hi Michael -- Looks nice! How much track have you done this way (in feet)? Although I have many feet of handlaid track, it does get old. I probably still have a dozen or more feet to eventually fully tie plate and spike, and another similar amount that just needs spiking. What is really nice about spiking every rail every tie is that the resulting track is nearly bullet proof...
