Where can one obtain quantities of clear plastic or perspex, (preferably with the protective rubber films which are removed upon installation)? Would the windows from mobile phones do?

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to get Model Rail Mag posted to you, other that Great Magazines. I started my subscription in December 2008 for a year and this is the second time I have had problems with delivery.

Recommendation please	22 Apr 2009 09:56 GMT	12
After several decades away, I'm getting to the point where I will have the time and space to return to modelling. As I will be starting from scratch (in terms of the layout), DCC looks like it is worth investigating. To that end, are there any good books I can get to read
