Authentic fishplates anyone?

Fancy realistic rail-joints?

My concern would be expansion/contraction - but then it must be the same problem with rail-clamps I suppose.

Realistic rail joints, but moulded plastic sleepers - love it!
My main concern would be the cost...
3/32" would be suitable for 10BA fixings. My usual supplier has hex-head 10BA bolts at £8.50 for 50 (about 17p each) and nuts at £6.00 for 50 (12p each).
Each track joint would use eight of each (four per rail), so each joint would cost:
(8 x 17p) + (8 x 12p) = £2.32 plus the cost of the joining strips
And they would be a real pain to get apart after they have been outside for a few months!
