Bill, the gauge rod bridles are shortened rail joiners soldered to a PC-board tie.  The PC-board tie is then hidden by covering with dirt, while a visible faux plastic gauge rod is glued above it between the bridle joiners.

Or that’s the plan, anyway.

Frogs are #6’s and #8’s.  10 ties back would be about 17’, so perhaps I want to go a bit shorter.  

I could keep 3 gauge rods and start spiking at the 9th tie, or drop down to 2 gauge rods (3rd and 5th gaps), and start spiking at the 7th or 8th tie.
