Greetings all,

Does anyone know where in the UK I can get some plastic I Beams. I can find sheet and rod no problem, but no I Beams yet.

Cheers

Al

Evergreen makes it, I beams, H beams, angle iron, and C channel. Can't help you find it your side of the pond though. I pick it up at the LHS.

Model railway shops in the UK or http://www.mainlytrains.co.uk

Mainly Trains sell it for £2.25 for 4x14inch pieces.

Alan

I think that hobby craft stock it - i'm popping into my local one on Saturday - i'll have a look for you - what size do you need??

If they do it do you want me to pick some up and post it to you - or if you're going to telford on Sat 18th i could bring with me
