Scale lumber can be obtained from the above sources, plus a few others not yet mentioned.If you're serious, you might want to get a sample packet of 2x4's from each manufacturer, and test it for size and workability.  They are not all the same.I model in 0 scale, and it's interesting that most scale lumber is labeled in H0 sizes so I am constantly making that mental conversion.  It's also interesting, the sizes are cut for 1/4" fidelity; therefore, the H0 sizes are actually 1:96 scale, or 1/8" scale, instead of 1:87.The smallest I think you'll find are 2x2's in stripwood, and 1 1/2" thick in plywood (H0 scale or 1:96).  In 0 scale, that would be 1x1's, and 3/4" plywood respectively. It's tough enough working scale lumber for the 1/4" scale, and I've seen some pretty fine work done in H0.  Get some and start building.  The learning curve is pretty quick.  And we will want pictures.-rrick
