... the difficulty of bending FB rail, the main reason for doing this was to avoid the need for special handed baseplates at each end of a check rail, and that then also allows the angle of flaring to be adjusted according to the line speed. For privately owned sidings and yards, where industrial-pattern trackwork is usually supplied by contractors, bent FB flares are probably more likely. Usually these are in lighter rail section which is easier to bend. This picture from Mick Nicholson of Brayton Junction, showing bent flares: 1571_031811_110000000.jpg shows I believe an earlier LNER FB design (Mick?). The big four companies were conducting many experiments with FB track before nationalisation, and there were several designs. The FB-109 design was standardised by BR in the early 1950s, using machined check rail flares. Other companies had different ideas, this is CIE practice at Dundalk in 1986: 2_170837_040000000.png regards, Martin. posted: 17 Jan 2011 14:05 from: BeamEnds Hi Martin, thanks for that- plained it is then!
