[modeleng] Re: modeleng Digest V4 #60

 
I wish you had been offering these a couple of years ago when I was looking
for something to use for the joining ring between the smokebox and the
boilerof my 'Enterprise'. a slice off the bigger of the two would have been
ideal. I would have thought that between the two sizes you have there you
could cover most models that require such a ring. Could be hard work cutting
the slice off though! 

regards 

Ian
