I was just looking at an HO install guide for a Tsunami in a Roundhouse 4-4-0 and it talked about using a piece of printed circuit board (PC board) as a replacement tender shell.
I read a N-scale install in the Model Power steam that used a bit of PC board with little traces already built into the board (breadboard?).
Where does one get this sort of thing? I went to my local Radio Shack but its becomming obvious all they want to do is sell me an overpriced computer or a cell phone. There were no printed circuit board materials at all, although they did have a single dusty perf board (?) there. The board with the little holes for wires, completely non-conductive material.
Thanks
