Thanks James and Bill for your help getting this up.

Hi Christophe. Thanks ... glad it is of some use.

This will probably will not be the most saught after set, as the base kit is OOP, and a large percentage of those who have it, will build it as is. Availability will probably play its part among those who will decide to use the aftermarket tracks, but I think it may spark some interest for those considering other MasterClub sets. I think with this quality, it looks promising.

They have a considerable catalog of items already, which should see them get more established. Tracks, wheels, and bolts of probably every kind and size needed. See a list made by Saul Garcia on Missing Links

I appreciate the great review and photos. These do look very nice indeed. I especially like the track pins, which are a better improvement, even over the Friul set. I havent done a thorough search yet, but availibility here in the US may determine if I get them or not. I hate ordering overseas.. Im too impatient

Yes these tracks look great. I'm even interested in getting a set. If they do late Tiger tracks I might even get those to replace rubberbands in the Dragon kit.

Patience trumps tedious.

Thanks Tim and Joe for your comments.


I agree ... and one of the reasons, I went with these over Friul as well. The price range is similar (here in Sweden), but this is a short-cut that Friul make all too often. As a lot of their tracks are not handed, the side that is left open, takes away from the overall quality.

Historica Books in the U.S. also have these early and late Tiger tracks available, plus the whole line of MasterClub items. Could be a suitable option for you guys.

I would recommend you buy them from Historica Books. I purchased the T64 and T72 sets from this line and had them on my doorstep in 3 days. Excellent service. They are from the looks of the two sets I have bought a fantastic value but I haven't seen the Tiger ones so I can't comment on them.
