Thanks, I think my tracks are 2" wide, 1" long and 1/2" total height. Or slightly smaller, I used 1 x 1/2 stock to mill them. For these parts that come out in the thousands I just use a round number. For the most part I'm building scale but not going to be as detailed as a couple builds I've seen. Wow hats off to those guys! The one I saw could be passed off as the real thing just shrunk!!! And this is a first build for me so getting to understand the mechanics of working parts is more of the importance to me than exacting scale. But am trying to seep it real, close
