I have a set of Geisswerk's E100 tracks. They had the distinction as being the most costly of any of his 1/10 scale tracks not only did they cost more than some of my complete
1/10 scale models they weigh more than some of the smaller 1/10 scale tanks I have... Beautifully made (investment cast) and seem very strong in the bronze/brass alloy he used but I doubt they'll ever see much use...
