With many thanks to Mark from the Sunday meet I now have a short piece of panther track plus a sprocket on loan, so I was able to get on with the sprocket design
It's a big beast and is currently 2 hours into a 7 and a half hour print

Hi Herman, each set should be 1660mm so 2 sets should do it with some to spare.

Alwyn I found a set of brand new panther tracks in my cupboard. Do you still need some?

It's a monster.

Well now we are into proper engineering - we have bearings!
Trundling happily along (but now a little more freely)

I just realised that I haven't posted the blueprints for this beast
Just save the image and load it into microsoft paint, print it with 200% magnification (you may have to play with this number to get the correct scale) and print and there you go.
