Jeff,

Give the Proto 87 spikes a shot.  The HO ones are close to scale, I'd go with the long ones.  I use them on some HO track.
They are not bad to work with a number 7 lens Optivisor. I also use the 150 percent HO spikes which are a larger version for some HO stuff and Sn3 and On3. They are similar in size to the Micro Engineering Micro spikes but because the Proto 87 spikes are etched stainless steel they are much better shaped and easier to work with in my view.

Of course if you are going to paint the ties you could just go with PC ties and solder.  IV tried just about every track laying method over the years so if you have ant questions feel free to ask me.

Best,
