Source for firebox covers

Where are you folks finding the firebox covers that you use when you deface Thomas and friends engines?

I have asked this before as well. From what I understand the HO scale boiler doors are used but I have not found a good source for them yet. Hopefully someone will post a reply here.

All of mine came from a seller in the UK on Ebay. Use a Worldwide search and type in Smoke Box Doors or Smokebox Doors. You will need metric calipers to get a door that fits to what ever face on the boiler you replace.

That's the smokebox, not the firebox.

Thanks folks. Even if they're overseas, any links to sellers or items you've used in the past would help. I've found that Bachman has a huge range, but they're more than I usually spend for an engine.

I might try and scratchbuild something as well.
