I've cut down the Peco Code 75 flat bottom insulated rail joiners, to make them roughly the same length as the Bullhead rail joiners, obviously with the 'divider' in the middle of the bit you're left with.

This photo was taken from a train at platform 5 at Birmingham New Street. It shows the middle road that avoids platforms 5 and 6. I was quite surprised to see what looks like an old rail type at such a busy station. Obviously this road is lightly used, presumably mainly for ad hoc ECS moves and stabling. Is it bullhead rail?
