Brass work - Couple of Questions

[Jonnyb]

Is there a guide somewhere on the net for working with brass, for example if someone were to build a tender?

Also does anyone one know the width of a roundhouse katie and also the footplate height.

You may be able to work out where im going with this.

Also I assume there are various suppliers for brass tubing, sheet and box section. Could someone point me in the right direction.

The width of a Roundhouse Katie is 110mm, I'll get the footplate height for you when I've got enough space on my workbench!

K&S Metals must be the firm supplying the largest amount of brass sheet and sections in model engineering sizes. They can be obtained from all good (!) model shops.
