Track Benders

[pugwash]

Did Steve (back2bay6) not have one that was available for hire??

Muns (a moderator of this forum) proposed having a Massoth track bender to hire, PM him and see if it is available

For LGB track you won't beat the Massoth track bender 8105001. 239 Euro's from Massoth worth every penny if you have a lot of bending to do!

Problem with that is the 240euro!
I'm tying to do this lot on a pension!! Would have been a much bigger pension if those thieving ******s of bankers hadn't reduced it to 1/4 of why they promised. Ah well, such is life.

I tried all the manual methods of bending rail including the Uri Geller technique.... Ended up making my own which I unnecessarily made far more complex that it needed to be, but I needed to roll 300mm rad "S" forms for my point work and the commercial ones wouldn't do that.... I don't see why they are so expensive to buy, not a lot in them...
The ebay ones look tres complex, probably designed by the CIA using "Black Box" technology ... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/PREMIUM-...ns&hash=item4ac34480e4&_uhb=1#ht_14447wt_1307
Expensive but it has a vernier dial gauge and 2 level bulbs on it, not to mention a solid hickory handle.......

This is the one I use. Very happy with it.
