Manufactured to the same precise tolerances, this .050" diameter tubing has only a .004" wall giving it an excellent thin-wall appearance. In N Scale, the outside diameter measures 8 inches, making it perfect for traffic signals or posts for lighted signs. Combine it with several curved sections of the smaller tube to make fancy streetlights or security lights around factories. Cut it into scale 10 or 20-foot lengths and paint it rust brown or black, and it makes terrific looking pipe loads. Use it in construction projects for exposed water or sewer pipe. The possibilities are endless. Just like our other tubing, it can be formed, and flared. If very tight bends are required, the tubing should be annealed first. See the Forming and annealing link for details.
