Can anyone point me in the right direction of a suitable place to buy brass, mild steel, stainless and silver steel stock preferably in the North Yorkshire/Teesside area. Else online if necessary.
 
Must be willing to sell small amounts.

M Machine are in Darlington if that's not to far, I used them oncea when working in that area to buy some big chunks of En1A.
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.

 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.

It is worth a visit if you are nearby, but ring first as he is not always on site.

I buy most of my metal from m-machine in Darlington. Great range of products are available. They are very helpful. Only downside is that sometimes I have waited more than a week for delivery (perhaps because they were waiting for stock). Website is at:
