I am looking for a sheet of open grate material for the porches of a
transfer caboose. I would MUCH prefer it is brass (over stainless) and
possibly up to .020 thick. I would prefer thicker than thinner. The real
openings are 1” x 6”. I doubt that there is anything measuring a true 1 x 6
in S Scale so somewhat larger holes are better than smaller. I like the see
though aspect of it all.

 

I need at least 2 sheets 2” x 1 ¼”. The long part of the openings follow the
1 ¼ direction. I have to make notches in it for the steps from that
footprint. I am not opposed to buying and cannibalizing a kit or other
detail package if the price is reasonable. I already have lots of Precision
Scale etched sheet that looks like diamond plate. That is just not going to
do it. I possibly won’t attempt the project if I can’t get suitable open
grid material. That is a big part of the character of the car. Equally I
really can’t piece together a roof walk. It would not be strong and probably
very obvious.

 

Please reply directly to [email protected] with links or hints where I
can get this material.

 

Thank You,
Bill Lane
