another thought to consider is are the ends not left soft so they can be peened over ?
i have contacted a local Foundry in Durham about track, about 30mins ago,they have just rang me (bloody prompt excelent service !) they have a partner firm with massive military contracts who state this type of track should not be a problem for them to re produce at reasonable costs, but i wont have a reply until after tuesday as the chap is overseas on business........... as a carrier family we should definately pull together and put an end to this problem.
Nigel may give the acurate figures but iam sure the track usually looses a link every 500 miles, they dont last too long at all.
