Anyone know of a source or supplier of traditional style SM32 (0 Guage) track in part form? My railway is mainly laid in old Bassett Lowke, Milbro and other white metal chairs on timber sleepers with brass rail and I still have alot of rail left in the "PW stores"! However, I cant find anyone who sells the chairs I need to make more track...! I appreciate these are now possibly over 40 years old or more, but I have not been impressed with the Brandbright plastic chairs (they pop out of the sleepers, even when glued in!) and Im not keen on Peco track. Anyone have and ideas...!?! :?

Bonds of Euston Road (well, Midhurst in Sussex actually) look to still be going. Worth a try, maybe? No web site and no email though...

Garden Railway Specialists of Princes Risborough seem to do everything or know someone who can!

I've been trawling through old topics and noticed your query.
I've used quite a lot of bonds rail on my line. I used it with tenmile sleeper sections, they are are strong and durable and of course no problem with chairs popping out!
Only problem I've had is obtaining bonds fishplates. They are needed as bonds rail is a slightly different profile to tenmile rail and tenmile fishplates don't fit bonds rail properly even though they both types of rail are bullhead.
