Finally broke down and got the Dragon 251 D 3-in-one at Hobby Lobby. I was looking at the instructions and got a little worried when I got to the construction of the tracks. Having never done indy links before, are there any tricks, traps, pointers I should be aware of putting these things together?

Dave, It's a different 251, but take a look at page 5 of this article and you should be alright with the tracks which are the same. I can't stress enough though that you really must use a jig, as it ensures a straight track run.

Thanks Vinnie

I can see I'll have to break out the stronger magnifyer for my headset to avoid going blind with those things.

They're beautifully made tracks and well worth the trouble though Dave. Once you have them made, they remain fully workable and you'll wish all tracks were made in the same way.

Erizeman, please don't take this the wrong way, but this thread is about 251 tracks. You have already complained about your Tiger tracks in several other threads, where people including myself, have tried to help you. Give it a rest willya?
