EZY TRACK

[Plastik Smurff]

Can anyone give me any tips on keeping EZY Tracks together?. The link's keep falling apart when moved eventhough they have been clipped together.
Any feedback will be greatfully accepted.

Never worked with them but I remember Glenn suggesting using rubber glue to keep them together. Might want to wait for other feedback though, not sure if it was the same tracks or not.

The Rubber Cement System aka The Booger Method! :laugh: I tried it on my Dragon ISU 152 Magic Tracks and it's still holding together. Since I have never seen the tracks you are referring to, I'm not sure that system will work. Here's a link to my build and Glen's original thread, man, are those old bones!

If you do use rubber cement, beware of the little hairlike threads as the cement strings out. They are hard to get rid of later on. :dance :drinks

Here is a pic of the track link's that I have. They are from Dragon so they may be Magic Track's in another name.
I have never made these so they are a mystery to me.

Those look like Sd.Kfz. 251 tracks. The "rubber" pad should trap the link so it doesn't come out. Are they from the Sd.Kfz.251 build you are doing? If so the the tracks should link and then the pad gets carefully glued over the join. If done right the tracks are moveable. Check here http://www.perthmilitarymodelling.com/reviews/vehicles/dragon/dr6206.htm to see how they should look when attached.

Faced with a similar sets of tracks, here's what I did. May be a couple frames in, hope it helps.
