Scoobies

[cut 'n' paste]

Hi -

I've just discovered something in my daughter's old toy-box that I think will be useful. They are called "Scoobies", and were all the rage a few years ago. Maybe you'll find some amongst the toys, too.
Scoobies are plastic tubes about 2-3 mm diameter, and come in all sorts of colours. I thought they'd be great for fashioning those parts you can't make out of paper, like loco pipes, engine parts etc., and being tubes, you can insert wire through them to make them stay in a particular shape.

Contact me if you can't get hold of them - I've got LOADS, and could send you some (free) if you send me a SAE.
