I recently picked up 192 feet of steel rails 332 gauge for our expansion this spring/summer now I am planning on using western red cedar to make the ties out of but I do not know what the actual size it needs to be. So that is one of my questions what dimensional size should they be for 1:20 scale? and is there somewhere I get find the correct info in regards to tie sizes?
Also has anyone else used the steel rails? Is it reasonably easy to bend and what bender works good for steel rails?
Thanks for any help you guys can provide.
Oh yeah the reason for using steel rails is two simple things, 1 it will weather just like the real thing, 2 I am converting over to battery power.
