I checked the various types of banding and the normal size for my needs is 2" which is heavy duty with a breaking point of 12,300 lbs.
Don,The stuff you have would come closer so far.
Lynn,Thanks for the offer but,with the limited use of my right hand I think I better pass..It will be hard for me just using tape.

Larry,
I have a roll of .026 which comes in at about 2.25" in HO. It is black, and that might work since some banding is black. If you want silver or another color, I frequently paint it by putting it on a sheet of acetate or other clear plastic and painting it with acrylics. That works well for road stripes and other places where a color stripe is required; I've even used it on a loco. It does stretch a bit since it's purpose it for PCB layout and so you can even make smooth curves with it.
I think I have your address, but PM me with it just to be sure.
