The head rod obviously goes in the first tie-gap back from the headblock.  The bridle rods on the prototype then appear to be at gaps 3, 5, and 7, with spiking commencing on the 10th tie back.

I had only planned on a single bridle rod 3 gaps back, but if I'm going to do it at all, it would be cool to try and match the prototype.  

Does that seems reasonable in HOn3 with code 55 rail?  

Or do I need to use fewer bridle rods to limit friction at the bridle points?

And does 10 ties back seem reasonable for the flex distance, or do I need shorter or longer for code 55 rail?

Thanks,
Jeff.
