Model Railroading > Let's see your gold spikeDate: 04/14/19 13:01 Let's see your gold spike Author: santafedan It is hard to believe I began the layout 30 years ago. This may not be a 150th year celebration. But, it is a celebration none the less.
I did a "formal" gold spike ceremony when the mainline was complete. Later the railroad put up a monument to that occasion. I have put some gold spikes on other layouts I have worked on. Let's see your gold spike.    Date: 04/14/19 14:01 Re: Let's see your gold spike Author: chessie7602 From December 7th, 2001. It was quite the event.
