I seen sleepers in perfect condition in the garden centre in the Glen O' the Downs,

Can't remember how much, but I was taken by the quality. They were obviously never used.

Just beware with used sleepers not to use them for vegetable beds or where very young children/animals might get at them, as the tar used in them can be carcinogenic and toxic.

Lifford, Co. Donegal. There is a builders yard selling used sleepers. Is it too far? Also available in Derry.
