Precision Milled, Stainless Steel Spikes
150% Over Scale (S,O)

These 150% scale spikes are precision milled from "half-hard" stainless steel sheet to a far more accurate and realistic shape and head than traditional bent wire spikes. Although still smaller than even "micro" traditional size HO spikes, these are found by many to be easier to handle and use than our near scale spikes. Also they are ideal for "S" scale and many On3,On30 and O scale applications. These are also supplied in two frets; 250 short depth length and 175, pass through, longer than tie depth, length, for fixed down track. All types come in 1 fret and 6-fret pack quantities. And a special mixed type sample pack is available for first time users

Precision Milled, Stainless Steel Spikes
HO Near Scale ( N and Z usable)

These exceptionally accurate and realistic spikes are precision milled from "half-hard" stainless steel sheet to a far more accurate and realistic shape than traditional, way over scale, bent wire spikes. These are supplied in two frets; 250 all tie depth only length for making removable track and 175, pass through, longer than tie depth length, for fixed down track. We also have a special non magnetic solid nickel silver version, that can be scattered along the track for cosmetic effect. All types come in 1 fret and 6-fret pack quantities. And a special mixed type sample pack is available for first time users.
