Permanent Way tool catalogue

[RSC Friends]

Hi,
I am researching the proper names of some of the the p-way tools in the Great Western Railway Room at Newton Abbot Town Museum - we're re-vamping the text for the next season.
Does anyone know of a catalogue that the GWR and BR(W) may have bought their tools from so I can get the right name for the implement - I'd rather not call it 'a rake', if it's actually a 'GWR 9-prong ballast rake' !
Thanks
RSC

Is it something like this.

Thank you, Ploughman, that's exactly right - but ours is wooden-handled.
The catalogue has an array of other products which I recognise - evethough the modern version, so I can do some matching up.
Good job, thanks

The ballast fork one of the ways you could use it was to remove the ballast with a shovel, then use a ballast fork to return it. This left a pile of fines behind that you disposed of and cleaner ballast in the track than what you dug out.

Thanks Trog, useful, practical information to inform the younger visitors to the Museum and assure them of your mumble - "They don't know they are born"
