Hi: I'm looking for some O Scale sidewalk. I'd like it to be plastic, gray in color and 1.5" wide and 1/8" thick. Length is optional. Does anyone know somebody that could make this for me?

Hi, I Steve, I see that Bar Mills offers sidewalks in four scales including O, according to Scenic Express. It doesn’t’t say what it’s made of, however.
I, myself used 1/8” closed cell foam roadbed material, painted concrete, with scribed lines using a ruler and pencil.
Good luck going forward on your quest.

www.crowriverproducts.com. Go to there resin details 1/4 scale. They are 1.5” wide. Pretty close on the height of 1/8. Best is they offer corner and driveway sections if needed.
Steve,
You might find my thread from a few years ago useful.

1/8 acrylic or 1/8 MDF I can laser cut it .

Steve,
From my thread - let's cut to the chase:
"One of the alternatives to yardsticks (which have those imprinted black markings) is wooden strips I've used for foamcore building internal support. You can get these at Lowe's or Home Depot. Typical measurements are 1.5" x 36" x 0.25" and they are either aspen or poplar.
When you place these next to your 1/8" masonite street, the 0.25" thickness gives you a 1/8" or 6 scale inch curb. These are more expensive than using yardsticks, but much less expensive than the commercial products."
Good luck in your pursuit and let's know what you ended up doing.

I think he said he wanted it to be plastic in the OP

Thanks for all of your suggestions. I ordered the product from Crow River Products. I wasn't aware of them. That is the beauty of this Forum!
