Where can I find a retail source for a spike maul (the unusually shaped hammer used to drive railroad spikes in wood ties). I sometimes work at a local trolley museum and also occasionally at other railroad museums. I've noted that the hammers come in different weights and lengths and I would like to get my own that I am used to (like bowlers with their own balls or baseball players with their own bats.) I would prefer to go to a store where I could examine them (try them out?) rather than get one by mail. Thanks! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Bishop David Taylor Model Basin "THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE" CDNSWC Code 5051 - THE X FILES - Washington DC 20084-5000

Try A&K Railroad Materials, or U.S. Trackworks. Both are either national or reigonal to the Northeast. A&K has a catalog, but they no doubt also have some means of sellign over the counter, as they have presences in all the metro areas. US Trackworks is a track construction contractor, but they might have an idea where. -Bob
