Has anyone successfully modelled this type off light weight flat bottom track . Code 65 rail maybe or any ideas.
Also unlike in the US where this was spiked directly onto the rail, I beleive in ireland it was laid in a form of " chair"
, as in
But some close examination of Odea collection , shows that seeming early flat bottom seemed to be secured by a chair screw/bolt on either side , with either a very small "pad" or no pad at all.
Its has been stated here before that the main line of the MGWR was flat bottom till the mid seventies, but there is ample evidence from 1960 around claremoris that the track was all bullhead, this of course could have been as a result of the major modifications to the station in the 40s
