Penn Station Progress

Here are some ties with the final Raw Umber/Ebony stain on them.

Here is the beginning of hand laid track including tie plates.  This inclusion of the tie plates looks great but is a very slow process.   I am considering only using the tie plates where they can be seen.  They are just small plastic plates but are rather expensive as you need so many, two per tie.  The rail was painted with Earth Brown and then lightly sanded off the tops.
