 * For the past 40 years, or so, I have been an IBLS member. While I was a member of the PVLS in Massachusetts, I met Brenton Barnfather, who signed my IBLS card.


 * On my track I used only Culp rail, not only for its scale looks but for the prototypical radiused head. I also strictly adhered to all IBLS recommended wheel and track dimensions. I have found that using a rail and wheels that fit each other, gives you excellent wear along with no derailments. The IBLS recommended standard should also include a rail head radius. My opinion is that the complete IBLS standards should be highly recommended for all to use, rather than a forced standard.
