There has been some trackwork taking place around Leamington recently. I'm not sure where, but the soon to be installed rails litter the sidings around the station.
The photo shows a stock/switch rail set. Further along there is another set and most of the parts to build a turnout. I'm not sure I've seen modelled before - or maybe I have but not realised it. Will look harder in future.
While looking at the track, I also noticed the rails were being retained by U-shaped metal "keys".
Are these new? Doubtless some permanent way enthusiast will be able to tell me more.

Hi Phil,
Looks like they are simply renewing the S&C in stages as part of overnight possessions, the piece in the first pictures is a half set of switches, probably just maintenance work.
The keys aren't new I think, they are pretty rusty and aren't in fully, these is so much variation in key design that they are simply what was at the Depot at the time!
