Will get some pictures later and post them, so you can see what I'm talking about. Looking for up to 5 people, if I can get that many.
Want to start selling some 3D printed ties I've made for the Lionel O scale tinplate track. But would like feedback. If a consensus is reached on any changes by the testers, then implement changes and send them for testing.
Will send 28 ties. Depending on whether you want to add 2 or 4 ties per track will determine how many pieces of track you can put them under. I go with 4. Will discount the final product for the testers too.
They are roughly scaled to the height and width of the 3 metal ties. The length is the same as the factory ties. I say roughly on the height and width, as that can vary when you screw the track down, depending on how much torque you use. Even a brand new track had small variations in the width.
Use these on my Christmas layout. I have to pull a section of the base out to get pictures, which will have to wait until after work. Was wondering if there might be any interest before I did that.
Thanks

Thanks I'd be happy to volunteer. I've been making my own versions out of thin plywood, but always interested in seeing what tech advances can offer!
