the teeth are sitting on the shelf waiting to be fitted (are we talking about the old folk or the model? ) Well the tracks are nearly complete, I have just got to wait for the glue to set and I can post some pictures..... I still went for indiduall track plates but conected them differently instead of using indivdual pins.... What I went for was to adhear them to a continous band, difficult to explain but you will see on the pictures......
