Re: Retainer Valves - HO Scale

Hi Jon, Peter, et al.,
Tichy offers any array of wire diameters from 0.008” to 0.032” in 8” and 3’
lengths, as well as 0.040” wire but apparently only in 8” lengths. The
wire is phosphor-bronze rather than brass, but I’ve never found that to be a
problem for me. See: https://www.tichytraingroup.com/Shop.aspx?SearchValue=wire.
Some of the Tichy wire products appear to be currently available from Walthers
too. https://www.walthers.com/search/category/products/accessories/scratch-building-supplies/manufacturer-name/tichy-train-group/show/120?is_active_flag=141007&match=AND&q=wire.
Clover House offers straightened brass in 12” lengths and an array of
diameters (https://cloverhouse.com/Cart/index.php?cPath=64&osCsid=cmrtivslojmrbbtq8ci2oeqv56),
as well as 100’ coils of phosphor-bronze wire in 0.013” and 0.020” diameters (https://cloverhouse.com/Cart/index.php?cPath=30_32).
Pax,
Ralph
