Source For Plastruct 3/64" Channel??

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

I have the remnants of an elderly Roundhouse Battle Mountain Kit that has the 3 diecast 36’ scale log car skeletons.

The plan calls for lining the outside edges of the skeleton ‘beds’ at each end with 3/64" Plastruct channel [not supplied].

So far I have not been able to find any 3/64" channel & wonder if it has been pulled from the Plastruct product line?

In any event, would appreciate it if someone can point me to a source if they know where there is some.

Thank you

Must have been pulled. Here is a link to their supply of channel.

A review of the Walthers catalog show thats 1/16" channel(4/64") appears to be the smallest available at this time. It is available in ABS & styrene. Maybe 3/64" was avaiable at one time…

I found this Battle Monutain log car diagram at HO Seeker and the instructions say Plastruct 3/32" channel. The drawing says 3/64". Must be a typo. Details.

The instructions are right. It should be 3/32" channel - a 1/16" wide pillow block has to fit into the channel.
