    Hi all,

    Sorry for another thread, but the others are quite old now.
    I am looking for 3 or 4 lengths of train tracks for sale.

    Anyone know where I could source them? Or prices at the moment?
    South Leinster area if possible!
    Thanks!

    Next to impossible to get. Our govt decided it was better to export to China than sell on the free market here. Every so often you will see them advertised on Donedeal.

    My auld lad built the shed at home using railway girders for the structure. Then went and built the cattle crush from more. That was 40 years ago. I only remember them being painted twice since they were put up. There is savage steel in them, and nothing would break it. Super stuff to build anything out of.

    As an extra titbit of info, back in the day the silage outfits had to drive through the cattle crush coming from a couple of fields to the pit. On more than one occasion, a driver with a heavy foot (or a throttle wrapped around the steering wheel) would come flying through and misjudged things. 2 tractors were mangled when they hit the crush. One I remember hit the gate girder at one end and ripped the front axel off. No mark on the girder!
