Old Kent Biker

I'm looking at building a first standard gauge layout (I usually work in OO-9) Peco offers SL-1208 TT:120 Additional Wooden Sleeper at a RRP of £1.69. Is this the cost for a single sleeper? I assume these are used to support the rails under fishplates, but I haven't seen an example of them in use, or being installed. Are they necessary or just for aesthetic purposes? Regards, Martyn

Following a footplate ride on LYN on Sunday, Richard from Lionheart was heard to say "I wish we'd done LYN first", so who knows what might happen... ;)

... or if anyone knows of any drawings and /or dimensions of this box, that would also be very helpful. Thanks.

Does anybody know of a model (OO scale) of or similar to that of the box at Cuxton, or that could be kit-bashed? I'm planning a first layout for my grandson, probably Thomas-based, but my Son-in-Law has recently become an operator of this box for NW! Thanks for any assistance, Thanks, Martyn
