    Hi all,

    Was wondering who people go to for loco copper pipe supply these days?

    Any pointers gratefully appreciated.

    Thanks

    The LNERCA (NYMR) has about 120 t of 1" bsp copper pipe available for sale if that is of interest. We're looking for about £900, no VA on that, buyer collects.

    PM me if interested

    That seems ultra cheap, could sell it to scrap merchants and get so much more than you are asking for it.
    I do appreciate it is to help another Heritage loco builder/repairers, but surely gaining maximum funds for LNERCA is most important, unless I have misunderstood weight etc and scrap prices?

    Sorry, fingers going faster than brain - 120ft! £900 is about what we paid for it so we're not making anything (or losing) but plans change and we no longer have a use for it, so would prefer to have the cash!

    J. Keatley Metals in Birmingham are a long established family firm and in my experience go the extra mile to help when necessary. As for owner Richard Mason if calling.
