1376 forum posts 10 photos	I've done a Google search but only come up with one company offering small scale sections in brass and they're all metric. I'm after both angle and channel with a 3/16th dimension on all sides and a 1/32nd wall thickness. The model railway guys used to be spoiled for suppliers back in the day so if anyone knows of a company still in business, would you mind sharing? K&S (available almost everywhere and it's clones - Albion Metals) won't do as it's too thin and folded. It needs to be milled. Thanks.
