Default Track Straining Bar

Hi all
You would have thought I was asking people to rebuild the Pyramids. All I wanted was to replicate this bar. After several days of visiting foundries, spring shops and metal workers, I finally came up with a solution, albeit expensive. The result is a reproduction bar that has the same tensile strength and weight as the original. I have tested it on the Museum Carrier and it passed with flying colours. I will only reproduce on request as the upfront costs are too great to speculate with. If interested send me a PM. The bar will be unpainted and the square handle section will need to be slightly rounded off.
The picture shows the original (top) with the replica underneath.
Bob
