Are there any custom manufacturers in the UK that can supply a matched set in funny gauges? Steve |

I would imagine other manufacturers would do the same. I'd be doubtful though that any of them would be making custom sets for individuals and suspect you will have to buy singles and make up your own sets from them. |
