Now that is one neat trick. Makes the tracks easy ish, and repeatable. :animated:

Just read this from start to finish - love how the whole projects adapts and progresses...

Picked up some interesting info along the way too!
Thank you very much! Even though the Landram was not my first release it was the very first own model I designed from scratch. I wanted to give the community something back and thought a boxy design like this would not be too difficult to make. It was an easy kit to begin with, however, then came @Rhaven Blaack (and the BluRay release of the show)... :biggrin:

Now then. After @Rhaven Blaack 's mind-blowing test of the track former (the Power Sled is so small that it fits in your palm, always remember that!) I will copy the technique to the Landram and will update the kit accordingly. Stay tuned for updates! :)

The old "Tucker" Sno-Tractors actually had their tracks go around box like structures on small wheels. The picture below shows it best. These were used to go to the North Pole, and in Antarctica. ;)

There was one parked about 10 miles from me for around a decade. The day I decided to go and take pictures of it, it was gone. Figures.

You can get a very detailed model here:
