Track
Comprising a 51mm square section with a 3mm wall thickness with a 11mm wide slot in the bottom face. This is rolled in 6m max. lengths. The sections would be complete with joint plates for easy bolted assembly. Curves would be rolled and fabricated from standard track section and surface hardened after manufacture to give a long life.
Drive Unit
A caterpillar type drive with driving dogs fitted between a pair of twin side chains, these chains are powered by a geared motor unit, incorporating a torque limiting device for overload protection. An AC inverter or DC thyristor can be used to control and vary drive speeds.
