Hello all, it's been very quiet I know, however now that I have packed away the tumble-weed I can get started again.

This blog entry is a plea for help rather than anything concrete, I have been looking, since the beginning of this week to get some bits and bobs for more detailing jobs etc, and was wondering if anyone has some insider trading knowledge as well as their own tried and tested procedures.

Firstly, where is the best place to get jewellers wire suitable for jumper cables (of 0.3mm diameter) along with wire suitable for handrails (0.4/0.45 mm diameter).

Secondly, couplings, is there anywhere I can get the specialised Instanter coupling loops (the ones that look a little like a heart) on their own. Plus where is the best place to source working screw couplings for locos.

Thirdly, glues/liquid gravity (by Deluxe Materials). These are needed for modelling purposes and weighting of kits etc, where would be the best place to get these, I have already looked on Gaugemaster etc, but could I get them for less elsewhere?

Hope this isn't too much to ask

And of course, once I source all these bits and bobs there will be updates from my workbench!

Thank you in advance for the advice I will recieve.

Richard
