    Greeting Steve, the other side is only going to be partly on !!!, As is now done .Keep saying I'll never use plastic tracks again , but fall into the trap .

      Neil thank you, I'd rather build figures and buildings, but needs must .

        Wabble , thank you, I've taken to having a Horlicks at bedtime ! Does this count ? Actually had to cut a link in half! Seems to do the job, covered in some mud and hardly seen it will be ok .

            Just had a catch up. Despite your track woes that's coming on very nicely indeed. Love the look of the engine!

            Keep up the great work.

            Evening Andrew, the one thing I just can't do is these tracks , even when they are cleaned to perfection ! Now engines are a different matter , love them .

              Evening all. Tracks are finished, the side that has just been done was much easier as only the back end of the track is on about 2 road wheels along .
              Taking a break from sticking plastic I've taken to making some ammo cases from Bass Wood thin section ,much more fun Photos tomorrow .

                      I can hear the cheers from here. I suppose the more times you use these plastic tracks the easier it becomes - hopefully :rolling:

                          Looks like a Despair Inc. poster. My daughter gets me a wall calendar (Demotivational Calendar) from Despair Inc. every Christmas. You may have seen some of my favorite pages in my man cave pics.

                              Yes there was excitement and cheering Jim. Just have to pick the right build for decent tracks !
