Why use CLYDE rail spikes?

Given the advantages of CUT NAILS with their secure grip, CLYDE rail spikes provide a strong, simple and inexpensive solution to securing light gauge rail track.

The method of manufacture ensures that the head and shank remain one solid piece of metal with no joins or welds. Indeed, the shank can be deliberately bent through 180^o  without fracturing.

Another benefit of our CLYDE RAIL SPIKES (for leisure parks) is  that the spikes have been made using traditional methods and traditional machines that have not altered much in 200 years - so the spikes retain the authentic look, feel and use of spikes from a bygone age that compliment the wooden track and rolling stock being used which also date from that time.
