Just curious if it could crack from freezing. It's also been abnornmally freezing in Memphis. It was there most of this week until yesterday.

The brittleness will disappear at "normal" temperature I'm sure.

The rest is from 2000, and the BASF brittle plastic. Cracks just from clicking together/apart. Hopefully the shop put packing peanut foam in nthe bigger box, or at least bubble wrap or air pockets.

I have had many items, including track delivered in wintertime and have not had any temperature related issues. Regards Mike C Montreal

Parcel is in Columbus Ohio now. Also has some K track for my Bietschtal bridge. I have been very happy with AJC kids! Reasonable pricing, and good inventory. Guy also answers e-mail technical questions prompltly. He may also have more clout with a carrier claim than I since they use them constantly.
