PzKw 38(t) / Praga series tanks, what direction does the sprocket turn (when going forward)? Clockwise or counter (anti) clockwise? Thinking about a dio with one that busted a track and need to know how to pile the track.

Clockwise on the right side, counterclockwise on the left side.

I was hoping you'd say that. Now I get a dramatic pile of treads in front of the sprocket.

I think you will find that all sprockets turn that way regardless of the vehicle type. They have to pull the track down towards the ground for the vehicle to run on it.

The only differences are when the sprockets are at the rear
Then it depends on the type of tracks, live vs dead, and where the track broke. In this case pictures of real tanks with broken tracks will give some guidance.
