2mm to 2.5mm axle sleeve

Postby dave_long » Wed Aug 22, 2012 9:41 pm

Hi all
I was wondering if anyone knew of a supplier of 2mm axle to 2.5mm sleeve other than the exactoscale 2mm to 3/32 adapter sleeves? I'm trying to change the wheels/axles on a few Lima class 31s with branchlines.

Have you checked Finney and Smith, they have a wide range of tubes.

As of course do other suppliers such as Eileen's Emporium and Hobby Holidays.

Thanks for the replies guys, I emailed Derek at Eileen's this morning and though their tube has the correct dimensions he states that the tolerances are not very tight. Any one have access to the emgs stores, although a worthy society with support for p4 I'd rather not have to join another society just for stores access.

Not sure where you are but if you're in 'The North' there's always ExpoEM North in a few weeks' time. The EMGS Stores will be there.
