Making Ties

Steps in pictures

Cutting and distressing of the long sticks.

Staining and painting of the cut ties. Compare them to the LGB tie.

Same routine for the turnout ties, note the different shades of the ties. The turnouts for “Samedan” are built on EasyBoard material.

The Styrofoam strips with the glued ties are cut or spliced to whatever length is required. Maintaining the distance between the ties at the joints.
