Icy:

I'm not old enough quite yet to be called Mr. by anyone...

If ya don't sell it, I can give you a tip or three on assembling the old-type tracks:

- Do it too roughly, and they fall apart because the cast end-pieces get opened too much and they won't stay on. Use a small vise to press 'em on.

- Watch carefully, all the O-marked links (on the inside face) go on one half of a track section, the blanks on the other side to make the facing chevrons look right.

- To hold the links side-by-side until ya get the pins pressed, use a strip of wide automotive or window masking tape.

- Put one end-piece together with one link-pin, and then match it catty-corner to another to the next link. Don't forget the guide-horn! Then press in the vise. I can take a few pics of my Hen-Long's showing the method)

- Assemble the links in this fashion in pairs, then mate the pairs into 4's, then 4's into 8's... but you have to watch how many. You only need 77 links per side: thats nine sets of 8's, one set of 4's and a single link per side... Total of 18x Eight's, 2x Four's & 2 singles. The rest are spares. Save 'em.
