[modeleng] Re: Spanners

Proops Brothers sell 0-11BA sets of thin spanners for £1-95 and I've 
bought a few similar sets off Ebay over the years. They are not 
brilliant quality but will do the job. I've got a couple of sets of the 
Laser spanners as sold by Chronos and they are very good quality but 
quite thick.
