Douglas G Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Does anyone know if Evergreen T-section is available anywhere in the UK, and if not, why not? The Evergreen website lists several sizes of T-section: https://www.evergreenscalemodels.com/Shapes.htm But when I look at the websites of UK model shops that stock Evergreen, T-section doesn't seem to be listed for some reason. Is there perhaps a wholesale importer who doesn't bring in the whole range? I am particularly interested in #761 0.035" and #762 0.056" for girders for an N gauge footbridge.

Mark Saunders Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 These are now listed by J Perkins their distributor for the UK and expected next month, so in theory the retailers should have them by May! Mark Saunders Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Saunders Hi Mark, That's really useful to know. I couldn't see the range listed on the J Perkins website, so I assume it's in the trade-only log-in section. I wonder why they weren't available here before - or are they perhaps a new part of the Evergreen range altogether, even in the USA? Whatever, it should be just what I need when it becomes available! Thanks again, Douglas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petesquire Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Hi, the 4D model shop in London do a range of T section. It's not Evergreen but it is plastic. Might be worth a try. They advertise in BRM magazine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard.h Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I know its not what you asked for but Hattons stock six different sizes of Plastruct T section if they are of any use to you. Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertiedog Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) In the trade Evergreen suffers from being very pricey in the UK, as it is imported, which means price fluctuations all the time etc. It's a very niche market unfortunately. The shop mentioned before is the only supplier I know of apart from the plastruct range Stephen Edited July 22, 2017 by bertiedog Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertiedog Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 The 4D shop on line does T section from 1.5mm up to 9 mm, but of course difficult to compare to Evergreen's offerings. 4D are one of the very few specialist shops that have stocks of sections, apart from the racks of Evergreen in shops, which frankly rarely seem re-stocked, perhaps due to low sales.

Branwell Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Elite Models appear to have the full range - https://www.elitemodelsonline.co.uk/More/Building-Materials/Evergreen-Plastic/T-profile I've bought balsa wood from them in the past and have been very impressed with the service they provide.

Jonathan Alas the Plastuct range of section is not as fine as the version produced by Evergreen and one of the other German varieties is fine not so good at accepting Liquid Poly plusis a bit too deep in section and only comes in metre lengths!

Porcy Mane Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) P & H Models used to be great for getting hold of the more elusive evergreen stock (evergreen 761?) but after changing hands I don't know what's going on with them? The website is constantly "under maintenance". http://pandhmodels.com/ Anybody used these? https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/290428/ p Edited July 25, 2017 by Porcy Mane Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oil-burner Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Might be worth checking out Ebay seller passion-132 (based in Belgium) who has various sizes of Evergreen T-section available including the apparently elusive 761. I ordered two packs of 4 off 761 for £7.69 in total plus postage of £3.57 (Euro converted) last Wednesday and they were through the letter box this morning. No connection other than as a very satisfied customer Ken... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
