"Fun all the way down the line" Bert? Fun as in on hands and knees working a rail bender? It is the Train Li bender. I am glad to hear good reports. I will be delighted if it works without twisting rails! I got so frustrated with the twisted section I finally used two huge Channel Lock pliers to twist the rail and squeeze it right out of the tie strips until that section allowed trains to roll through without falling between the rails! I have re-bent that section four or five times and completely replaced rails three times with new rail just bent three times, all with the similar twist problems. Other places like my trestle the twist is minimized because track is screwed to the trestle or other under track support material which tends to slightly straighten the rail head enough to prevent derailments. ~ Gary, scudding over Terror Trestle http://community.webshots.com/user/raltzenthor http://www.angelfire.com/or/trainguy/

If its the Train Li bender then it works. It has been used here in Europe for some time and so far I have never heard any negative remarks. My friend swears by it. This takes the ifs and buts out of bending rail and its fun all the way down the line. Bert, in surprise, surprise "SUNNY" Austria.
