On the subject of casting new track,I have several sections of N O S track , this morning I was looking for a single link to get a quote on, of interest is the makers name Malco, just wondering if this is the same firm here in Aust that made cast iron cooking stoves under the name of Malles ?, next all of the track that I looked at had A 42,I gues this was either Army? or Aust, and the 42 was simply the year,
Next one is a strange one, every link is numbered differenty this section is numbered 70.27/16.48.79.1.13.70.74.20.14.6.1.20.66.18.62.20.61.no w the question is how many moulds did they use and was this system of numbering a form of quality control? in other words if say number 70. was faulty that would tell them that mould 70 was buggered,
Sorry for this little rant but its all part of our interest I feel,
Regards Ron
