Does anyone know a site I can go to purchase the thin brass or copper material to make the leaf for picking up power from the track for lighting of the car? Is there a pre-fabbed piece for this and what is it called, so I can search for it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I use 15thou nickel silver wire. I found it to better then copper or phospher bronze wire, more reisiliant, more springy. I get it from my local hobby shop.
