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.
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 180o without fracturing.
The advantage of cut nails is the secure grip they provide. CLYDE rail spikes provide a strong, simple and inexpensive solution to securing light gauge rail track.
Applications in many countries range from use in coal and gold mines to sugar plantations, peat works, garden festivals and leisure parks. It is not suitable for main line track.
The CLYDE rail spike or dog spike is a cut nail, sheared from steel sheet, and offers a robust rail fixing that has enjoyed success worldwide for many decades.
The CLYDE rail spike is used to secure narrow gauge rail track to timber sleepers in mines, leisure parks and plantations.
