Rivet size?

[IronMan]

Hello,

Would anyone know if there is a " standard " size copper rivet that is used when building in 1.5" scale? I know there are not too many standards in the hobby, but one that is used that looks more appropriate to scale being used. I am seriously thinking of riveting the tender in the A3, I will of course look and see if fake, embossed rivets at that scale look ok, if not......

Thanks,
IronMan

Hi Ironman,

Check Nelson Reidel's web page at
www.nelsonslocomotive.com/Shay/Tanks/TanksI/TanksI.htm

on what he did for his 1/8 scale shay. I would think
that the 1/16" copper rivets he used wouldn't be too
far off.

Thanks Pat,

It is just what I needed, at 1.5 " scale I will have to rivet the whole thing in order to make a nice job of it. I just need to find a supplier near home, otherwise I will get them from the supplier he suggest on his site. Great stuff !! Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.

Regards,
IronMan ;D
