7mm GWR Cattle Dock

I have just dragged out an old cattle dock that I built about 20 years ago and I think it needs a bit of TLC. I was trying to replicate rails from the old baulk road and whilst I though they weren’t bad then, I now think I need to replace them. So, does anyone know of a source of broad gauge rail that I could use?

Thank you

You have almost answered your own question. The Broad Gauge Society sell bridge rail in both NS and Aluminium. The downside is that the NS rail at least is solid with no 'hollow' underneath. Put 'rail' in the search box at
BGS - Parts 7mm
It would probably look no better than what you already have unless you milled a slot in it.
Cheers

Thanks for the link Dave,
Some of those cross rails are Bridge rail, but I cannot remember where I got them but the others are just fabricated from plasticard and don’t stand up so for the moment I think I might just try and fabricate some more and take a little more care this time.
