Rail chairs

Post by TTgardenrail » Wed Aug 02, 2023 8:19 am

Does anyone know of a supplier of rail chairs for the old code 330 brass rail please. I have a lot of brass rail and wish to make my own 32mm narrow gauge track. Thank you. Tony

Hi Tony, are you talking about the brass rail supplied by Tenmille about 40 years ago? I have no idea about the 330 code you mention but the rail was available in both flat bottom and bullhead section.
If so, the chairs were moulded plastic and I might be able to help.

Thank you , the rail was originally fitted into accucraft plastic sleeper units set at 45mm. I wish to change to 32mm gauge track and have an awful lot of this brass rail to use up if possible . I have attached some photos if it helps? Tony

Sorry Tony, but those dimensions are way bigger than I imagined. Perhaps spikes would do the trick?

Thank you for your reply , I now believe my brass rail to be code 332 section not 330! Please see this link to explain. https://www.gardenrailways.co.uk/category-45.html . Slowly unravelling the identity and possibly a solution !

Be a shame not to use it to make my own 32mm gauge track!
