Definitely gives it that "era look" though, Jim. Hand laying of track has always appealed to me from an economic standpoint, but at normally only 1 pair of spikes per 5 ties, sort'a detracted from the realism.

The really amazing part is that modeller's in Australia can accomplish all of that while upside down!
