    I sincerely hope that these sleepers turn out to be a howling success.

    So far, I have been unable to find any real details as to their cost, weight, axleloads, dimensions and/or number per km etc. I am struggling, however, to see that they will have the weight to contribute to track stability to more or less the extent of concrete.

    As I have said, I hope that that they do work to save the trees and support a decentralised industry, if for no other reasons.
