Default N.O.S. Carrier Track

Well I reckon this is the holy grail of carrier parts, a complete set of N.O.S.Aust carrier track. unasembled and with the remains of its original tags still on some of it.in over 40 years of playing with carriers this is only the 3rd set that I have been able to pick up. I dont count the sets of track that you see from time to time asembled. as I reckon at some time these so called n.o.s tracks have been on a carrierand been used. I dont need this track but it was too good to let it go

Default New Track

Hi Ron - looks a bit rusty to me. Tell you what, I will visit you and relieve you of this problem. Better me than all the new best friends you are going to inherit.

Bob

Default more NOS track

I also came across some track this week that I just had to have. After buying it sight unseen, I turned up to collect it and it turned out to be mostly English and NOS in 21 link length's. So with the dilemma of what to do, I keept the Aus and ditched the rest!

Default Re. Your Track

Hi Euan - obviously this is another case of one not doing the research and ending up with something not wanted. I have Ron's track listed on Ebay and with his restoration history I have no doubt it is Australian. As far as your Pommie track, put it on Ebay as people are also looking for this track.
