Description
The Micro Engineering 30-102 is a pack of 500 large 1/2" track spikes — the classic blackened-steel spikes used to handlay model railroad track. The offset head grips the rail foot and holds it firmly to the tie, just like the prototype.
Which spike size: ME's large 1/2" spike is the workhorse for larger rail and thicker ties — large scale / G gauge trackwork, O scale, and heavy-duty applications like securing rail through tie plates. Its long shank gives maximum holding power in wood roadbed and ties.
Use: Push or press each spike in with fine needle-nose spiking pliers, working alternate sides of the rail to keep gauge true. The 500-count pack is ideal for a first handlaying project or repairs; step up to the 7,500-count bulk pack (30-101) for a full layout.
