Tread plate

[Axlebox]

Can anyone tell where I can buy etched brass or N/silver tread plate in the UK. There are different styes
and I have found a site in Germany but very expensive.

If you can't find brass or nickel silver tread plate Archer have resin tread plate as surface decals. There are various types available. Archer Surface Details

I've their resin rivets with no problem.

You might try CPL. I'm not sure, but I think they did some...

N Brass Locos do a fall plate that you might be able to do something with - http://www.nbrasslocos.co.uk/kitimages/fitbr/n2279fallplateweb.gif

Failing that maybe Scalelink?

What sort of treadplate are you after? The 'durbar' style can be had from Shawplan (suitable for 4mm, probably not for the larger scales) but only in relatively small pieces.

Thank you for your reply, I have seen the resin plates I think it was on the CPL stand at Bristol in January, but they didn't have the pattern I required. I think would be ok for the job in mind but I looked through their complete range and no luck.

Try Dave Smith at Midland Railway Centre, Kettering (AKA the old Metalsmiths), it's advertised as chequer plate if that's what you mean, phone number 01536 410536. He's due to be at G0G show at Kettering, early March.

good luck
