Hi Kerry,

Is there something wrong with my adding cos I get a 0.79% shortfall from your figures. Can you check?

Regards

My guess is there is a bit of carbon in there somewhere....as well as a bit of mud from the Thames, and a bit of sheepshit

Default Oz Track

Last saturday I helped out a member of our club down the line in soughting unused LP2 track which he had purchased. Most of the track is NZ manufactured I presumed by Mason & Porter (now Masport) the remainder I took to be from A&G Price from Thames south of Auckland until I looked back over this thread and saw on page 2 the pics from Ron. The track I was soughting has the same markings as Rons so obviously has come across the tasman which historically is rare since at the time Australia was pushed in trying to supply themselves let alone send it to NZ. I was impressed in the finished product of the Aussie track compared to the other, very clean and sharp detailing. Had to share this as it took a while to stop the drooling after handling such tight unused track.
