Anyone know of a source for ready made crossties to use with metal O gauge track to fill in between the metal ties?

jjmock...welcome to the forum! Go the "find" on this forum, and you should locate a lot of discussion. There were some tips just a few days ago, from purchasing ties, to making your own. Adding ties really improves the look of your trackage.

Kappler Lumber (should be in the source list!) sells a variety of wood ties for track that might serve for your purpose.

I use them when hand laying track wheneven I'm not making my own ties.

I made my own from trim wood from Lowes. It is the same width as Lionel ties with rounded edges and just a little shorter so you can slide them under track that's screwed down. Just cut to length, spray paint black, and glue in place.

PrrFan,
Could you be a little more specific about the trim wood. You have convinced me to try this myself.

It looks like "screen molding". 3/4" wide pine-- a very basic wood molding
