Two little bags full of insulating raail joiners arrived today from a very nice man on ebay.
Let the slicing, dicing, sticking, bending and feeding commence!

This'd better work southernboy, or you owe me £2!

Good luck Tadpole - You're leading the charge for all of us "Third Rail Modellers"

Don't worry, it works alright

The fiddly bit is cutting/gluing/fitting the insulators. But the rail slides through the insulators surprisingly easily - even on curves, where I'd expected a little friction.

Hi, I`m looking for Code40 rail to create southern electric 3rd rail - who can tell me where I can get those rails when I´m not a member of the 2mm association?

Many thanks in advance, Phil

Google is your friend (search for Code 40 bullhead rail)

Or ask Wayne Kinney about his rails that he sells. I bought myself for that very purpose! Here is a link to his thread....
