I'm working in ½" to the foot (45mm between the rails) 'cause my girls like Dollies who can ride the train. Harry and Mike have given me the idea to get thicker sheet for the ends, but that the sheet would be okay for the body. Harry and I have discussed boilers before... at length huh Harry! ;-} Thanks Terry Griner

If you are building an "O" gauge 0-4-0, it's probably to heavy! Yet, if you are building a 15" gauge 4-8-4, it's probably too small! So, we need more informamtion as to it's intended use to make an educated guess.

Would this be thick enough to be a boiler? I looked in my Mechanics handbook, and found that the copper is about 22 gauge. I am thinking that it will be fine. Let me know.
