Haven't started them yet Steve although they look pretty good.

Bottom side

Top side

Well molded, very little flash and look pretty easy to remove from the Sprue. Should start cutting and trimming links Today or Tomorrow.

Thanks, Boys. More has been done.

Wheels assembled and colored up.

Track links cut, trimmed and test fitted.

Return rollers got some steel applied.

And finally, wheels and sprockets in place.

Track assembly next, I think.

AAACW.

Thanks, Boys. your comments mean a lot.

Mence, It's a mix that I came up with. 2 parts XF-55 Deck Tan to 1 part XF-78 Wooden Deck Tan.

So, the tracks are on and drying.

Links cut and trimmed. 90 links per side.

In place and drying.

.

More tomorrow.
