To prove my point : <br />Quote: I wouldn't go for the unit that bends both rails at once or at least i would think about it long and hard. I have 160 metres of track down and i have bent the lot myself or at least my wife and i have; so i have some knowledge of the subject (not just an opinion based on no real experience). End Quote <br />Reply: I dont know what rail he used so hand bending is possible.... and I didnt say the dual bender is the ONLY way to go, did I? Secondly, I have experience I have used it to bend several sections of my track, so I do have experience!!!! I also tried to hand bend -didnt work for me with brass 332, and tested a single bender. <br /> <br />Second Quote" <br />From my point of view it is easily the best way to go, as you can make any length you like and any curve you like; which can be important in tight situations of which i have many. " end quote , <br /> reply: ANY method could do this, benders make it easier. <br /> <br />Third quote: <br />One thing i have mucked up and have to redo in a few places; is to watch what you do when making a join on a curve, i have a real mongrel on a R2 curve and 4% gradient. I am waiting for my grandson to visit to help me fix it, not that my wife and i can't do it, but we think he could do with the experience; i have ruined both the gauge and the evenness of the track and its not hard to do. End quote <br />Reply, this bender makes it nearly impossible to "muck up", and makes bending a joint a snap, just put spit jaw or hillmans between the two sections and keep bending- duh. I dont think it is possible for me to ruin the gauge or evenness with this bender! <br />I guess "NO REAL EXPIERENCE" doesn't apply to me. If you had been keeping up with my site, I am building my layout right now, as I have pre bent most of my curves. <br />
