Now living in Aberdeenshire local suppliers are thin on the ground so I buy from GLR and Live Steam Models both of whom advertise in ME and give good service.
If your OK wthj mild steel black bar your local blacksmith will supply or, if your prepared to buy full lengths, usually 3m, your local metal supplier may sell to you. For sheet metal go to a local sheet metal shop, they've plenty offcuts they will let you have.

![]() 1946 forum posts 179 photos | Hi Wolfie, I use Macc Models online for much of my supplies, website is here. Prices are better than most, good range of stuff, delivery quick and at cost. I've never been disappointed. Usual disclaimers. As Nigel says, sheet and offcuts of bar are often available at local small engineering works at scrap prices or even free to take away, I always offer to make a contribution to the Christmas club. The guys are often very interested and helpful when you explain about model engineering etc. Terry |

He will send by post and will give you exactly what you need.
It is worth a visit if you are nearby, but ring first as he is not always on site.
I have always had good prices and service from him, and can reccomend.
