      I trust you are using that jig :smiling2:.

      Have you been let back into the house yet ? This 2 mtr rule is not essential to married couples tell SWMBO.
      The only jig at the moment is being done because I have finished one length, all parts were cut from the sprues last night ready for the final assault today. I would be happy except I know there are five more boxes of these in the stash :tired:.
      She keeps eyeing the shed with a certain glint in her eye, and yesterday I found my jam sandwiches wrapped in a map that showed how to get from the kitchen to the shed. Now everybody knows I know how to get to the shed - what is she on about :thinking:.
      Mike.

        Hi Jim,
        It feels firm enough, but I would not like to put it to the test, with solder maybe but we all know how brittle c/a can become.

          Update,
          Have been building up the tracks all afternoon and now stopped for a break. The pic below shows the sequence I use, and the only tool is the pair of tweezers. The red area is where I brush a slight amount of liquid cement.
          Now time for a cuppa and a wedge of lemon cake all homemade by SWMBO....
          Cheers, Mike.

              Look like the Diehl tracks used on the Abrams & the Leo 2. We used to supply steel for the end connectors

                There is a strong similarity when you look at them, I had to look at the box title to make sure when i got them out to start. Just taken this pic of three together.

                          Well its been another pleasure to catch up on your work Mike. Great to see the tracks are well under way. Now remember 10 links, then a slice of cake, 10 links then a slice of cake, ten links then a slice of cake....... :smiling2:
