Factory New Old Stock Track
When ordering the Yardbird railroad you received a "do-it-yourself" project.
These two ties came from the same box – notice the inconsistency of tie dimensions. Rough!
Tie-to-Rail clips were packaged in simple brown bags and packed inside the tie box.
Rails were shipped in bundles of eight, wired together. Four 64" and four 58."
These are original galvanized bolts and nuts used to connect track sections together.
The #2021 box contained 30 ties and a bag of clips. You really only needed 24 ties for a single bundle of rails, but I guess they thought you might need some extras. The date code below right is basically illegible.
