Putting some numbers in that, say you want the gauge ... increase by 0.25mm (prototype max at 4mm/ft) at 750mm radius (outer rail): L= SQ ROOT of( 8 x 750 x 0.25)= SQ ROOT of 1500= 38.7mm.

For 7mm we offer a choice of 1.5mm or 3mm thicknesses- the former following the trend towards thinner sleepering, whilst the latter matches existing 7mm C+ L components ... track making is as easy as any other facet of our hobby. If you still prefer riveted construction, you can use any of the above.

These ... to seeing more info on your website in due course. Please let us know once the information is up there.
