Here are some first pictures of the different parts that I have so far. The image below shows a part of the treads and the sprocket wheels together with one road wheel. Each part of the plastic treads has rubber on one side. The friction to the ground is very high. The other gray side shows the holes where the sprocket wheels will go. The only limitation I have seen so far compared to other solutions is that the treads do not have central guide teeth. It remains to be seen how much of a problem this will be.
The wheels where removed from the brackets which also gave me a perfect axis that will be used to fasten the wheels to the bogies. As can be seen in the picture above, these wheels are nicely color matched to the treads. Now I just need to find some use for sixteen pivoting metal brackets.
