I have some railway rails I'd like to bend, can anyone think of a way to do it?

If they're solid (not a hollow print) they should bend with heat - either from a hot air gun (even a hair dryer) hot water or any gentle, controllable heat source.

Yep what Frank said.
I have done the same for slight bends on 3D figure arms, but you will need to direct the heat a bit more accurately. Hot water works as well.
