Well, as I mentioned in Rob Gunstone's thread recently, I ordered some code 40 rail, with the intention of producing my own 009 track and pointwork.
Having said that, in order to test my Sirdar loco the other day, I had to go down to the nearby model (& touristy tat) show at the South Devon Railway in Buckfastleigh and buy a metre of Peco 009 track, purely for testing, not for a layout. However, I was pleasantly surprised to receive a metre of good-looking NG track with regular sized sleepers and spacing. Pity they don't do points to match, I would be tempted.
Anyway, the rail and fishplates have now arrived (from British Finescale), but I realised that I didn't have the right size of copper clad sleepers, so I'll be calling Marcway in Sheffield this morning to place an order for some.

Hi Tim,
The SLE range of PECO 009 pointwork all match the 'mainline' flexi track. Equal length sleepers etc.
