hi everyone i want to build the Darjeeling train and i am the search for materials right now.

the drawing says that the boiler has to be 4 3/4 inch in dia.

so i looked at macc models they only have it in 4 1/2 inch dia. so i looked at mk metal they have it in the right size but the prize pr meter is 660 pound.surprise

is there anywhere else i can find this tube at a reasonable prise and length?

regards Brian
