Micro Engineering 1/4" Spikes

I'm using these to spike plain track on an On30 layout I'm building. I find them easy to drive and use. As a suggestion for use though, the little plastic container (jar?) that they come in is tricky - for me - to open so I recommend placing that jar inside a larger container or tray before trying to open the package so if any spill, you've caught them.

The Spikes themselves are brilliant, just the thing for my hand laid 16mm scale quarry tramway. The missing star is for the product container, the top was so tight the inevitable happened and 10 minutes was spent hunting out a hundred or so miniature rail spikes from the carpet that exploded along with the lid when it finally yielded.

Love the spikes - modified a small pair of needlenose to drive them in. I agree with the other reviewer...make sure you use a small tray for your spikes!

Hold rails perfectly get along very well with homasote roadbed. You need a special plier to ease nailing. You can get such a tool from Micro-Mark.

To get best results you need best material. Now I got it.
