It shows how behind the time I am,... I didn't think you could get them any more because they were soaked in Creosote, which is illegal these days,.... isn't it?

never heard of creosote being illegal, i'm sure I saw some for sale the other week? anyway these are USED sleepers and have been "in situ" since at least 2004.

thanks SS, found them whilst walking the dog in a new location, strange what you can find if you keep your eyes open to all possibilities!
