Jun, when you write cartridges, we think of the small metal bottles (for
example, 100ml) used for refilling cigarette lighters. These should have
adapters included. (The ones sold in

Hi Kevin. I've seen shim steel advertised in machinery supply company
catalogs at most thicknesses from .001 to .032. Cheap ! Try MSC
Industrial, JL Industrial, KBC Tools. If you need their websites, let me
know.

Kevin,
I have found that large Olive Oil cans are made of thin steel,
thicker than you asked for, I think, but if you are going to use it as a
boiler wrapper, thicker might be better.
I know it looks good for ore cars!

Kevin,
It's a shame that mild steel shim behaves so well as wrapper material
but unfortunately it will rust through from the back
I get it from Grainger, as Jonathan suggested. The .005 brass is about $15
for 6 x 100 -- that will do a lot of boiler jackets, tenders, saddle tanks,
wrappers for tank cars, etc.

You may have a hard time finding it anymore, but what you want is the old
style Blued stove pipe! It is a heat blued thin sheet steel that was the
primary type of stove pipe for many years.
I have it on at least three of my locomotives now for upwards of thirty
years. So long as you wipe

The cheapest source for 100% butane is Asian grocery stores. The supplier

adaptor to reach the Ruby fill spout.

Hello Kevin, Keith and all,
Don't let the office manager catch you, but I regularly use our paper
