   * Use steel rod for axels and either Proxxon for making ends sharp or small ball bearings
   * Found out, that TT track has too small sleepers/ties, only 2 mm wide. 1:87 scale size would be about 2.5 mm and 1:80 about 3 mm.
-  * Private railways, like [[iga_line|Iga Line]] has a random mix of ways to pin the rails to the sleepers/ties, e.g. plain spikes, spikes with wooden blocks, spikes with chairs, bolts with chairs, spikes with springs, multiple variations of rail chairs. And that's all along the single small priwate railway line. Noticed similar things on Geibi Line and somewhat on [[kansai_main_line|Kansai Main Line]]. Also mix of narrow and wide wooden and concrete sleepers/ties. Even on at different bridges sleeper/tie size varies per bridge. So if somewhat prototipical look is desired, the only way is to handlay the track. Handlaying the turnouts/points/switches is a must, since there are no available RTR items on the market, except Tillig EW3 with the TT-sized sleepers/ties.
