I- and T-shaped electrical pick up wipers. Precision etched out of spring temper phosphor bronze sheet. The hole in the mounting tab is clearance for a # 0 screw.
I have had wipers etched in .006, .008, then .007 to see if the thickness of the material effects how well they work. I found that there was no effect. The thickness of the wipers available at any one time will vary depending upon what thickness phosphor bronze sheet I have been able to obtain. If you have a preferred thickness please inquire. Current stock includes I-shaped wipers in .006, .007, and .008, and T-shaped wipers in .007 (limited supply) and .008.
The T-shaped wipers are priced at $1.00 each including postage; the I-shaped wipers are priced as 2 for $1.00 including postage.
A full 12 x 12 sheet that contains 160 of the I-shaped wiper and 150 of the T-shaped wiper is available for a price that is less than $1.00 per wiper, not including packing and shipping. Please contact me for a quote. The thickness of the sheet may vary between .006 and .008, depending upon what my supplier can provide at the time you order. Sheets are shipped in a plywood sandwich. I use tin snips to cut the tiny tabs that join the wiper to the sheet; a pair of appropriate scissors will probably work to cut the tabs.

Precision etched safety tread material. Available thicknesses are .016 and .031. The sample in the photo was coated with Dykem and then lightly filed to highlight the raised areas. The material you would receive will be uncolored brass. I was not careful to file evenly, hence the apparent uneven surface.
Priced at $1.00 per square inch. Any rectangular size up to 11 x 23 inches can be provided. Large sizes are shipped in a plywood sandwich. The shipping charge varies depending upon how much packing/crating is required to ensure the material will be safe during transit
2-rail O scale 1.25" gauge AAR diesel trucks cast in brass. I have two pair of the trucks shown above.
The bolsters allow the sideframe to pivot for equalization. The 40 inch diameter
steel wheelsets are insulated
for two-rail operation. The thread in the bolster mounting hole is 4-40.
These appear to be sand castings rather than investment castings; the sideframe is
one piece.
These trucks are priced at $40 per pair plus S&H.
2-rail O scale 1.25" gauge AAR diesel trucks cast in brass. I have three pair of the trucks shown above.
The bolsters allow the sideframe to pivot for equalization. The 40 inch diameter
brass wheelsets are insulated
for two-rail operation. The thread in the bolster mounting hole is 4-40.
These appear to be sand castings rather than investment castings; the sideframe is
one piece.
The bottom of the bolster is marked "Japan".
These trucks are priced at $30 per pair plus S&H.
2-rail O scale 1.25" gauge Blunt diesel truck cast in clear resin. I have one pair of these trucks. The bolster is machined brass and allows the sideframe to pivot for equalization. The 36 inch diameter steel wheels are not insulated for 2-rail operation; normally this lack of insulation would not be an issue because if you are planning to power the truck, most if not all known off-the-shelf gearboxes include insulated axles. The bolster does not have a hole for mounting the truck to a loco frame. These trucks are priced at $25 per pair including S&H.
