[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by kenneth19usa</i> <br /><br />Hi John, <br /> <br />Can you please let me know where did you find the stiffer wire. ? I am planning to use with Tortoise Swtich and Atlas Turnouts #6. <br /> <br />Thanks <br />Ken <br />[/quote]Ken, <br /> <br />I am not sure what the original wire on the tortoises was, I used some stainless wire of about 0.8 or 1.0mm. We use it for a number of other applications and you can buy it from Small Parts Inc. http://www.smallparts.com/products/descriptions/gwxx.cfm <br /> <br />I find Small Parts a great source of material. They also have brass, phosphor bronze and lots of small sizes of wire and rod avaiable in small quantities. I can't afford to use them for production volume of course but they should be an invaluable resource for modellers! <br /> <br />John <br />
