Radiator for a railcar?

Modelling the Northern half of the Isle of Man

I've tried all the usual suppliers (i.e. GRS, Brandbright, Tenmille, Swift Sixteen, SLR, Cambrian, Model Earth) but can't find a lorry-type radiator. It needs to be around 45mm square, and ideally cast. I no longer have access to a 3D printer, so STL files are no help, I'm afraid.
Does anyone know of a suitable supplier, or is a scratch-build on the cards?

Cambrian (before sold) was the first place I'd go.

What about the other half of Cambrian? Don't think they'd do it though :( The Cambrian one wasn't square from memory, more Model T Ford :nod:

IP Engineering?

There's a cast one - dunno the size :think:
 
Depends on the style you want?

Vehicle repair mesh + plastic or brass angle (for the frame).

Old guitar strings, or lengths of threaded rod, mounted vertically.

I have even wrapped enamelled copper wire, round wooden dowel..

That's exactly the kind of esoteric information I was after! I've never heard of the supplier, but have messaged them for more details. Thanks, @Gerard!
