Abstract

A method for installing a rail system that comprises a rail (12) having an upper face (16), first and second side faces (18, 20) and a lower face (22), and a resilient cushioning arrangement (14) mounted on the rail (12) in engagement with the first and second side faces (18, 20) and the lower face (22), thereby forming a rail assembly (10), wherein the system further includes a channel arrangement that defines a rail holding cavity (47) for receiving and holding the rail assembly (10), and an open top (51) to allow the rail assembly (10) to be received in the rail holding cavity (47). The rail assembly (10) is inserted into the aforesaid rail holding cavity (47) in the channel arrangement via the open top (51). The cushioning arrangement (14) and the channel arrangement comprises corresponding first and second detent formations (52, 54) which can cooperate with each other to secure the rail assembly (10) to the channel arrangement.

Abstract

A rail junction assembly (10) for directing first and second rail vehicle wheels (42, 44) of a wheel arrangement (40) is disclosed. The rail junction assembly comprises first and second main rails (12, 14) and first and second switch rails (16, 18). A first flange receiving passage (17) is defined between the first switch rail and the first main rail. A second flange receiving passage (19) is defined between the second switch rail and the second main rail. The first flange receiving passage is configured to receive a flange (48) of the first wheel, and the second flange receiving passage is configured to receive a flange (48) of the second wheel. A wheel control arrangement (30) controls the first wheel on the first main rail when the second flange is received in the second flange receiving passage, and controls the second wheel on with the second main rail when the first flange is received in the first flange receiving passage.
