On a different (and more fun) subject, does anybody know of someone who has
seriously contemplated reproducing Weasel tracks or any components thereof? I
think I've heard of at least three efforts to reproduce tracks - two in the
states and one in Norway. It seems, however, that nobody's actually done it.
I presume that's because it turns out to be far too expensive due to tooling
costs, but I'd like to find out what people have learned.
Like probably most other new Weasel owners, I'm trying to find a source for
reliable track and I'd love to hear about anybody elses experience. So far,
the solutions seem to be (1) reinforcing an original track with chain or used
conveyor belting and (2) buying better track, if you can find/afford it. There
are also nonoriginal post-war tracks manufactured in France and the U.S.
(company by the name of Ambulator, I believe), but I would prefer a set that is
as close to the originals as possible. They're just about as hard to find in
operable condition as the originals anyway.
Are there any other ideas out there?
Thanks.
