JZ Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Trying to find some PCB strip or vero board with two rows on it, it doesn't necessarily need holes. It can be rigid or flexible, not fussed on that, as it's just to be used for attaching lighting. Used to work in the PCB industry until I joined the railway, some 13 years ago, When I was there, I made up loads of it, both single sided, double sided and with plated through holes. Much was given to fellow modellers and what I kept has now been used up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelcliffe Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Scrape your own ? PCB and scrape a track on it with a small file or saw blade. Check its electrically isolated with a meter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky Dicky Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Self adhesive copper strip is probably going to be the easiest. This is used in dolls house construction for lighting as it is easier to conceal than wires. If can be stuck to any insulating material and is easily soldered to. https://www.amazon.co.uk/FEPITO-Shielding-Repellent-Electrical-Grounding-Conductive/dp/B08FJ6BSG7 Richard 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZ Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 Just had a DOH! moment. I have around 300, 15" lengths of double sided PCB that were cut for making sleepers. These, of course, would be ideal for my use. Some were left over from when I used to supply C+L with theirs, but around 200 were especially cut for a 3mm modeller, who agreed a price, with Brian Lewis at C+L acting as a middle man. Once they were ready, he changed his mind. Never again did I accept a commission for sleepers without the money being paid up front. They have however, proved to be the correct size for my present project. Thanks for the pelies though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
