Annie, you could make up different stories for the store clerks, like you need the pipe for plant holders in the garden or you're making klaleidoscopes. Since you have a lathe, you can make most of what you need out of metal, wood and plastic. I've had very good luck getting excellent metal from a local scrap yard at, well, scrap prices. It's very hit or miss on sizes and availability though. <br />I'm thinking of making a battery powered engine in 1:20 scale, probably a 4-4-0 American type. I need to first finish my 10 wheeler, all wood, all scratch in 1:24 for entry in the craft fair this Fall. Anyway, sounds like you've got the right stuff to get the project done. Good luck and have fun! Send another picture as you progress. <br />*** Griffith in Connecticut.
