Wanted: UC Track for collection

[rob love]

It is my understanding that the T-16s in Swiss service had the track pins (and pads) narrowed slightly. Since those were primarily the carriers returned to the US, and the pins are still sold by an American dealer, a lot of people have assumed the pins are narrower on a T-16. It is my belief they are the same. I recently did some interchange at the museum between an ex-Cdn T16 and a UC carrier on things like bogie wheels, track etc. While there are some differences on the wheel bearing setups, there seemed to be decent interchangeability.
