Default Lamp wicks

Hi all,
Pleasant Point railway has a huge collection of lamps that I've begun to drag out of the cobwebs to tidy up. However many of the wee fuel tanks have been left with whatever was being burnt in them, which has knackered the wicks in most of them. I was wondering if anyone could name a supplier and possibly quote for one or two hundred wicks? I can send photos to another TT'er to post if they PM me. These lamps are mostly shunter's and guard's lamps, and also have curved pieces of red and blue-green glass, but some are broken, I was wondering if any railway ones on here have experience with something similar? PM me for extra info.
Ashley
