Just wondering how heavy the single track links were for a Tiger 1 , as well as the two piece links for a Tiger 2. Easy enough for one guy to handle or a two man lift . Thinking of a track repair diorama . Thks

A set of T II combat tracks tipped the scales at 2.5 tons (U.S.). There were 92 links/connector links per set. So, you're talking about 95 lbs. per. link/connector.

Hi, according to one of the Ebay sellers, one Tiger I link and pin has about a 65lb shipping weight. That'd probably put the link, itself, weighing around 50 to 55 lbs. I don't know if he's referring to the travel or combat links, though.
