Ed,
Might I suggest a totally different method! Instead of all the oversize  
spikes and the trouble of putting them in I use brown Latex caulk! Spread it  
wide enough to cover the entire tie and only thick enough to grab the ties. 
I  use push pins from the bulletin board I bought in bulk at Staples to hold 
it in  place until it sets. This and N scale rail Joiners on Code 83 flex 
and it looks  great. I have almost 500 feet of track down this way with no 
failures to date. I  originally tried floor tile adhesive but this did fail 
rather quickly.

I haven't heard back yet from the modeling list (it's OK,  I know everyone 
in this group works hard) but I thought I would clarify and  add one more:  



    1.  would there be a way to spray a liquid of  some kind to keep the 
electricity flowing?  I hate to mess too much  with those little brass fingers 
they look pretty fragile  
    2.  is there any better/easier way to spike  down Shinahara flex trak 
(code 83) other than one at a time with a pair of  spike pliers?  An 
automated system that would let me drill some  additional holes along curves rather 
than the usual pin vise?  What do  the experienced guys in our group use?



Thanks gents - PS, I'm just glad to see #611 moving at all!
