Jeff consider the HO or even 150% HO spikes from Proto87Stores. These are my favorite spikes for HO to O scale. They are etched stainless steel and attached to frets. They are easy to use and have nice sharp points. They are reasonably priced for what they deliver. They have many details for track including bolt strip details and slide plates. I also like the Mole switch machines they offer.

Hi Todd,
In HOn3 ME micro spikes go about 2mm into the roadbed. But I bend about 1 out of 3, so I only use them on trestles, bridges, etc. (where I pre-drill).
I use ME small spikes elsewhere. I only bend about 1 out of 20 of them. But in HOn3 they go a full 6mm into the roadbed.
Cheers,
Jeff.
