... adjust this bend between ones fingers if it is out. The exact radius is less important than the fact that there is one. On the prototype the Crossing Flangeway is 1 3/4" wide, but for a 1 in 8 crossing the knuckle gap is 2 1/4" noticeably wider. The knuckle gap dimension varies with the crossing angle ... the crossing leading to very poor running. See you (and Martin?) at Scaleforum! Best wishes, Howard posted: 5 Sep 2017 16:08 from: Tony W Hi Andrew. The standard advice for many years has been to produce a sharp bend, which as this thread and others have explained is just plain wrong. I discovered this ... . However, after referring to NER-A books I found that my knuckle bends were still too sharp, so I tried to make them more gentle. A 1:8 knuckle bend comes out with a bend very similar to the circumference of a Scalefour mug. So I bent the rail around that, carefully checking until the straight parts lined up ...
