Winter build project: Wolfgang Matt’s ATLAS

Chris, I have a bundle of Sullivan type straight and fairly stiff plastic sleeve and inner which looks as if it could be teflon. Certainly slides very smoothly and the sleeve, being stiff, shouldn't need a lot of support along it's length, I'll bring them to clubnight tomorrow, you may be able to select something suitable for your project.
Hope it may help.

Hi David, that's very kind of you to offer to bring your snakes to the club meeting tonight, unfortunately it is looking unlikely that I'll be able to attend, and as our paths rarely cross at the field I'll either take a trip to Salisbury, having never visited Spire Models, or put in an online order, there's various bits I seem to need, hopefully they can all be sourced at one place.

Thanks for your offer of help with the tubes.

Best wishes Chris

OK Chris, on your way to Spire from Wimborne you will probably be passing my house, I live in Breamore 2 miles north of Fordingbridge on the A338 (I'm a lot easier to find the Spire Models too!). why not call in and you can check out my stock.

Thank you David that's very kind of you. I'll PM you to see when might be convenient.

Your comment about you being easier to find than Spire Models brought me up short, I had assumed it was the model shop I thought I'd seen on Fisherton Street in Salisbury, I was quite surprised to discover it's a residential address in Laverstock! I'm now wondering if I've imagined seeing a model shop in Salisbury.

Thanks again, Chris

Model shop Salisbury? Yes if you like trains and want to become an anorak... :lol: :whistle:

FYI, I spoke to Andy at Probuild and internet sales are still continuing whilst the ongoing move is in progress. You can order parts by phone or internet for delivery but picking up bits by appointment from the house.

What do you mean, 'become an anorak'? that happened years ago although I do like my models to fly so I'll probably not be popping in.

Glad that Probuild is still going, I'd heard they have relocated, but I wasn't sure if it's going to be a new shop front somewhere else or just internet sales from now on.
