Graham Farish AFAIR. Many years ago.
Wider sleepers than Peco streamline with proper 4mm spacing. Better looking turnouts too, but not as large a range.

Yes, can confirm that it was made by Graham Farish and it first came on the market at roughly the same time as Peco Streamline. I notice from a recent advert that Gaugemaster are now marketing flexible track in "N" and "OO" but, at present, no points or crossings, only plain track. I would be interested to know whether anybody has tried this yet and whether it is genuinely their own make or - perhaps - made for them by Peco.

Rather than just asking "Who" why not try doing a bit of your own research and type "Formoway" into Google?
I have Atlas Code 100 set-track curves and turnouts in my hidden sidings. They work near perfectly with my wild assortment of wheel types. Peco Code 75 on visible sections.

I think that went way over your head!!!!!
Farish also made locomotives and carriages at the time. I wanted their GWR prairie but my budget was limited to second hand Triang.
There were other brands of OO flexible track, such as Gem Welkut Wrenn
Did Wrenn ever go beyond their fibre-based stuff?
Quite possibly.
Yes, bought some in the mid '70s.
Rather chunky rail "spikes" and the rail tends to slide loosely within them. Also found that it doesn't always hold gauge on curves becoming too tight, probably due the sloppiness of the rail in sleeper.

Oops, sorry!

The 't' seems to have been optional.
I've just measured some and it is indeed code 75 (1.91 mm in new money).
