The differance is obvious! How much time was needed to assemble the friul(?) tracks?

It went very fast.I made me a jig to mount them together.Almost like this...

The most work is the cleaning from flash and to drill the holes.
Only to assemble (without the cleaning work) it took circa 2 hours (maybe 2 and a half).

This is perhaps the most realistic chassis I have ever seen! Great work - And the Friul tracks are expensive but are as close to the real thing as you can get. Well done Markus. I expect you to win many contests with this!!!
