Our railway sleepers are frequently used to cross streams, but rarely to strap people to! It was a narrow escape in 'The Avengers', when secret agent Steed rescued Diana Rigg from being run over by a train load of villains planning to sabotage Britain's radar system. A positive note for the skilful volunteers of Stapleford Miniature Railway, who are refurbishing one of the original bridges.

FIRSTLY a great opportunity to support the Red Cross Ukraine Crisis Appeal. However you perceive the war in Ukraine, it is crystal clear that there is a staggering level of suffering, displacement & hardship. For every piece of Ukrainian oak sold we donate £3. One online order for 20 railway sleepers will generate £60 of humanitarian support.
SECONDLY a chance to support a family sawmill in Ukraine situated, close to both Kyiv & Belarus border. They tell us "It's a difficult time. We won't give up & we will carry on to support Ukraine".
THIRDLY a chance to buy wonderful new oak railway sleepers, from approved well managed forests. Brilliant for those wanting a longer lasting alternative to softwood, with a crisp landscaping appearance looking architectural & stylish.
WIN, WIN, WIN!
