Baseboard progress

Bearing in mind that the largest individual baseboard (fiddle yard or scenic) should be 6ft x 2ft I am looking for a piece of plate glass of these dimensions. The local glass supplier estimates £150 for a piece 8mm thick. The glass, once properly supported across the long work table, will be a very flat surface on which to begin fabricating the aluminium structure of the baseboard/baseframe. I am still sourcing the correct sections and qualities of aluminium for the job.

Stockwise, Ultrascale are still working on the P4 wheelsets for the new Dapol class 22; I will need wheelsets for the Hornby T9 and the Bachmann Warship. Is anyone aware of the best source of Bulleid coaching stock?
