Hello all,
So it's become more apparent recently that I have a growing collection of railway ties. My current total brings me to 40, and yes - that's quite a lot.
Most of them I know what they are, and roughly when they were used. But some I don't have any information on, and so I've attached a few photos below of the ties I'd like to know a bit more about.
If you can help, that's great! And yes, I've got a list of them on my computer should I need to make a reference. Oh, and if anyone can sell me a life, a girlfriend, or both, then please also advise
Left to right:
Regional Railways I have this and a twin-stripe one. Was it for different grades or regions?
British Rail Seen this a few times, but never know who it was issued for?
Arriva Northern Spirit x2 I know nothing about these and never seen them before. Anyone know why the two designs? The left-hand one is much silkier and the one on the right much more traditional
First Group x3 I think the pink one was for catering staff, but not sure about the other two? The left hand of the 3 is more 'heritage' and so my guessing is maybe an old Great Western design?
Any information on the above ties would be much appreciated.
Cheers!
