a while back i had opportunity to visit Todds trains north of raleigh  (3hr plus drive).  He had some sheets of plastic used in scratch building buildings,  some pieces to scale grooved as in siding, some that could be used as metal roofing.  I bought some to play with at home, and came home and put them in safe place, so safe even i can not find them. (5 yrs from now i will find them)

all you guys out there probably know just what i am talking about and could point me to web page.  nearest town for me that has any model railroad is Raleigh NC and it is quite a drive to just look around

Is it perhaps 'Todd's Train Depot' that you are looking for?  I couldn't find a web page, but at least this link shows the address and phone number. 

 

Here is a link to a PDF that shows a UK product that I have used in the past called 'Plastikard', This comes in a variety of patterns and scales. I don't know if this is the product that you have safely stored or not though.

i want the source for the plastic  they are 8 1/2 X 11 (i think) and are in all kinds of scales,  could use quite easily for correct siding, metal roof, brick construction cinder block construction

no i am not looking to get to todds or any other raleigh area places just web page where i can purchase the materials

BINGO. QUIICKEST ID WAS THE DISPLAY RACK, THAT WAS CAUGHT MY EYE TEN MONTHS AGO..

 

MY FIRST PROJECT WILL BE A North Carolina Tobacco barn, with typical rusty roof and attached covered storage area usually with an old disk in it.

My bride's grand dad raised tobacco and she picked it as a youngster,  old fashioned way, put on sticks and put in barn hanging, fantastic smell!!  and then she told me about the sand lugs which were first pick and all the big worms they had.

thankyou, thank you

probably going to have to contact these folks.  the pdf catalog although it is complete is not easily read,  for instance  1:43 scale what would be the correct copy of 5V tin used in farm roofs?  What would be the correct 1:43 sheet for cedar shingles for roof, and siding sheets.

if you hold it in your hands you can pretty much say to yourself, that will work for a cinder block wall, or a brick pattern sheet

but gleaning that from pdf is tough, well at least it is tough to me
