Just wanting to know if anyone can put me in touch with a supplier of 8" diameter x 3/16" wall thickness seamless copper tube. Belong to Altona Miniature Railway in Australia and requiring the copper tube to build a vertical boiler as per an article in the Australian Model Engineering magazine. Thanks.

Try AME, they published the article.
I have seen such copper pipe used for chilled water lines on a recent project in Adelaide but how you would obtain a short length I have no idea.
It would be easier to roll a tube.

Have only seen up to 6" advertised at MACC models UK.
I think you would be best rolling it too. Any competent sheet metal fitter should be capable of the job.
Good luck.

If there is any it will be an old stock probably owned by individuals , there were some sold in our club a few years ago , there still may be some around and not required , I suggest put an ad in SMEX "wanted "and wish for the best .
