Can some please post what size bass wood I can use to make a few standard gauge HO ties? I need a few but not enough to order a bag.

Thanks

Measure the size of the ties on the matching track and get stripwod that size. Since there are numerous “standard” tie sizes and the commercial track manufacturers don’t necessarily make their ties the same dimensions, just measure what you have and match that.
