Hi, Can anyone please suggest where I might obtain, or have folded, some steel channel section for the underframe of a 25 Ton S.R. Brake van.

The size is not one I have seen advertised anywhere, at 34mm x 9mm and some 650mm in length. I think this is normally of 18g material thickness.

Thank very much.

Rob :)

Rob,

Try Alan Wood, our chairman, his contact details are in the front of Turnout, or try cutting it yourself as detailed in an article in Turnout about 2 years ago, you'll need a long miller, but not a folder.
