I have got a bit of Micro engineering ties, they appear to be better proportioned than the wood strips Kappler sells, I bought kappler 1/16 by 1/32 strips and they are wider than 1/16 and not as deep as the Micro engineering ties, which means sanding. I didn't expect this, but since I sand my ties anyway to lighten the stain its not too big of a problem. Anyone having similar experiences???

By the way, a sanding sponge is great for sanding tie tops, easier to hold, light application will yield the same results as regular sandpaper, I still have to use sandpaper on the edges thougth.

Thanks Mac,

I'll look into it. So far I''ve heard HO 2x4's are supposed to be good, I guess I'll have to sample around.
