Narrow Gauge Concrete Sleepers
 
Does anyone know who is making concrete sleepers these days suitable for 2'6" gauge track? Order of around 1000 pcs in the offing!!

Probably isn`t anyone in this country now. The Welshpool and Llanfair managed to aquire somw ex mod concretes about 10 years ago i think it was, but they are very heavy and took some handling.

Well i have said it before but Alan Keef ltd make their own track, so why not get in touch with them.
It is on their website.

Alternatevely, try Costain.
They are the n0 1 producer of sleepers in the UK so manufacture by them should in theory, not be too difficult.
