Hi, Most major cities, if you happen to live in one, have a plastics company or two in them that work with acrylic materials for sneeze guards for resterants, salad bars,and grocery stores. They don't buy them direct but a refigeration shop that has a cabinet shop does because they are the ones who make those salad bars and coolers and things. I'm not triing to babble, just explain who would use or make these products. So, check your local phone book for either a plastics warehouse or a refrigeration co. with a cabinet shop and they will be able to direct you. The price shouldn't be to bad this way either. Good Luck............Jamie

why don't you build it yourself ? just buy the stuff cut to the right size and glue it together. you may need to reinforce the joints by drilling small holes and screw the joints together. doesn't look like a rolls royce but should work.
if you need to keep away your pets you probably could user a hypersonic emitter. animals don't like that noise so they don't "play" with your trains again. Unfortunately this doesn't stop kids .....
have fun
