I can see that the inner ones interlock together between the rails - but are the outside ones bolted to the sleepers or something?Peter Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15020212199830779526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914276256646518799.post-55807437865000593332018-12-03T11:01:02.757+00:002018-12-03T11:01:02.757+00:00Jo, be careful, that bag of spare holes got mixed ...Jo, be careful, that bag of spare holes got mixed up, there are metric an imperial holes in there!
