Recycled Steel

Has anyone use sheet steel to make rolling stock from ? I am contemplating using recycled computer cases to make some hoppers. Any thoughts??

I don’t know if anyone else has done it, but as long as you can work it, it should be fine. If you have the tools to work with it, go for it!

My fellow 7/8’s scale buddy, Dave, built a 7/8n18 critter in steel. Unfortunately only the thumbnail pics are in the thread - http://cs.trains.com/trccs/forums/p/120482/1374884.aspx#1374884
Sounds like a neat idea but that stuff is pretty thick but I know you’re no noobie Bob!

If it’s a material you’re familiar with and know how to work, go for it.
