Scratch Builders Materials
Over the years, we have had requests for a variety of products made using some of the patterns we use on some of our parts. While it would be
nice to accommodate all of the requests, it just isn't possible. Looking for a way to fill some of those requests, we started producing sheets of
metal that feature our walkway patterns. Starting out with our Apex (slotted) pattern and Morton (round) pattern, customers were finding they could
now build some of those specialty projects they were hoping to build. Steps, grilles, platform grates and even autorack side screens are just a few
of the projects people were using it for. And even the 1/25th scale truck modelers have found the material useful. They are using our #201 Apex
material for grilles on their Peterbilt models. As time allowed, we have added more patterns to the list of Scratch Builders Material. From a
Diamond safety tread sheet to "expanded" early diamond for either a Gypsum or Transco patterns, we are adding more to help as many people as we
can build those special projects they dream of. While all of sheets have feature HO 1/87th scale patterns, we have a one specifically for our 1/25th
scale customers. Our open Oval pattern to match that found on newer Peterbilt grilles. This sheet is our #215. All sheets are
approximately 1.8" x 8.5" and made of either stainless steel or brass as noted in product description.
