Can anyone point me in the right direction for some 'Pyramid Nosing', I think that's what they call it. Its the metal edges for the stairs on an RM.

Many Thanks

Rob

These people do the three row tread but not sure if they do the nosing, http://www.fhbrundle.com/flor-nos.htm
They say that they are trade only but I'm sure they might be able to help with a supply or a list of customers/retail suppliers. If you can get the nosing tread it can be heat bent without too much trouble you just have to do it slowly round a pattern (like a pipe bender) and prevent kinking on the corners. Best of Luck

What Brian has indicated is indeed the nosing rather than the flat tread, the picture isn't really shot from the right angle to reflect this, I think that the flat bar pyramid tread is 31-32mm wide rather than the 35mm as indicated with this item

Hi Rob,

we need to replace them as well, how did it work and what color has the nosing you bought from them?

Thanks!

Tonia, its unlikely that you have pyramid nosing on your RML. Pyramid nosing is steel plate with small pyramids of steel on it See here:

You can use this on your RML as this is the original spec, it was screwed on with counter sunk screws and painted the same colour as the stairs. After refurbishment, the RML had a different type of nosing fitted to the stairs and entrance step into lower saloon, this is available from the RMOOA and is called sharks tooth nosings.

I wonder if Tonia is referring to the steps in front of the long seat. My refurb(London Central, refurbished by South Yorkshire Transport) has pyramid edging there (which was rotted through on one corner). She also has shark's tooth nosings on the platform and stairs.
