Concrete Sleeper Moulds

When I decided to build a steam engine, I of cause wanted some track to run on. Having lived here for 40 years I knew the land was red clay & very sticky when wet, so I knew wooden sleepers wouldn't last 5 minutes.

I decided on concrete so I came up with the design that I used which is simple & it works. The only alteration I have made is to the shape which is prettier, more economical & looks professional. These are the plans as used by me.

      
 I have all the old moulds left & I won't need them again  they are for sale £10 each

I woke on 25th June 07 & found 12" of water

on the front.This had come down the lane to the

right from the fields behind, hence the red clay.

There was 2" of water under the floor boards.

Within 12 hours the water had gone & the track

was undamaged.
