Simplex/Motorail radiator wanted

Post by fixit » Sun Nov 17, 2024 5:30 pm

Hello. I need a sm32 16mm scale white metal radiator (double sided) to add to a narrow gauge industrial loco I'm constructing.
Do you know if anyone is still making these or maybe you have one in your spares box. I would need to know the approx dimensions in mm.
Thanks.

Thanks for those suggestions. I don't have a 3d printer so the Cambrian is the best solution so far.
I may try and make a mould and then cast a white metal version... How hard can that be ...!
If anyone else has other ideas for fabricating or adapting something I'd be glad to hear.
(I try to avoid using plastic in my loco constructions - usually just tin plate, white metal and the soldering iron.)
Cheers for now.
