Hi Dave ,

Take a shortcut on this – many model engineering societies and a few individuals have already made rail benders . On payment of a returnable deposit a friend of mine was able to borrow one from a club for a few weeks almost for nothing except for a voluntary donation to club funds .

Regards ,
