Can you identify this Gauge 1 track?

[SevenOfDiamonds]

I'm heading down to the Exeter Garden Railway Show at the weekend, and looking through my stock of unused items for anything I might put on the Bring and Buy stall there.

Although I'm a G Scale guy, I have some Gauge 1 track in yard lengths that I picked up somewhere along the line (no pun intended) for use as display track, but have never got round to using. Two lengths are identifiable as Peco, but the other 5 or 6 have no branding on them. The distinctive feature is that the sleepers cone in twos, and there are three circular markings on the underside (presumably for track pins) . . .



From the research I've done, I'm thinking this might be Cliff Barker track, but his website doesn't show the underside of the sleepers to allow me to be sure. I'm sure someone on here uses Cliff Barker track . . . so might be able to confirm (or refute) my suspicions.

The track is lightly used (and not used by me at all). The previous owner bought it to give his Aristocraft Class 66 Shelf Queen a very occasional trundle up and down (or so I was told). If I'd known more about Cliff Barker track I might have asked him if it was code 200 or the newer code 180.

Any help in identifying this track gratefully received

Cheers

David

Thank you, Jon.

Why didn't I think of looking at their website too? I can see a picture of their two-sleeper units now (but not of the underside mouldings, so your personal observation on that is invaluable). I'm hoping when you say "central hole underneath" you mean "three holes underneath" (as per my photo).

Now, the only thing I need to decide is how cheaply I might offer it for sale at Exeter. New price is £14 per 36 inch length (as it's their nickel silver rail). The standard "£3 per foot" (for G Scale track) would suggest £9 per length (and it turns out I have 8 lengths), so a little less than that should help it sell. The two Peco ones look unused (and have an RRP of £19.90), so maybe a little more for them. Decisions, decisions.

All the best

David
