    According to my contact at the yard the tracks were removed by the DRMO before release. The main useable parts were the engines and transmissions, which the yard removed and sold soon after they purchased them. A quantity of radiators remain probably the only really usable parts now.

I will take it to Beltring (war & peace) next year and give it a good...
