Thanks for the remarks,The tracks were the clincher it took a few prototypes to get them rite, I have wanted to build the MkIV for a few years but the tracks were the sticking point, I played around with different ways of doing it until one day I came across a racing bike chain that had a hole through the center pin then Bingo!

Very nice build. This build must have taken forever, don't think us plastic crunchers could cope with all that work. Like the bicycle chain solution for the tracks, did you use a jockey wheel to drive the chain or make a small sprocket? Have you any pics of the build, or some of your machine shop :D
