Manufacturers of Authentic Reproductions of Historical Railway Components in 3½", 5", 7¼" & 10¼" Gauge Specialising in Vacuum Brakes & Trackwork
The 'Surrey' chair is a close scale rail chair based on the two bolt GWR type, with a simulated wooden wedge that is moulded in two parts. The chair has a 3-degree cant to present the rail to the tread of the wheel correctly, just like full size. This creates the parameters for a smooth ride and very little flange contact. Having a detachable side allows the chair to be fitted or removed from a length of rail without disturbing any more chairs than is necessary. The chair can be fixed using a high tensile hexagon head screw with no washers required.
The 'Surrey Chairs' are versatile and can be used with both wooden and recycled plastic sleepers. However, for the ultimate performance, we recommend using them together with the PNP Railways 7¼" or 7¼" & 5" Gauge Sleepers as part of the complete 'Surrey Track System'
The 'Surrey Rail Chair is part of the PNP Railways 'Surrey Track System' - the ultimate solution for your large-scale model railway needs. This complete set of parts includes the 7¼" or 7¼" & 5" Narrow Gauge sleeper, Surrey Chair, 5.2lb/Yard rail, and fish plates. Whether you're building a well-used club track or a private railway, the Surrey System is designed to carry heavy narrow-gauge loads while still accepting standard scale models with fine wheel profiles.
One of the special features of the Surrey System is automatic gauge widening when using plastic sleepers and chairs together. By pushing the chairs in towards each other during assembly, the correct gauge is achieved. Pushing the chairs out widens the gauge, and all screws should be tightened, and the gauge re-checked once the desired gauge is achieved.

The 'Surrey Track System' is an ideal choice for any model railway enthusiast looking for a smooth and efficient narrow-gauge railway.
