Source for sheet Styrene needed

 I went through all my train web sites and can't find anyone selling styrene. I also tried Michaels and A C Moore today and my local train store. Also what kind of glue is best for this?

Thanks

I have always used "Evergreen" sheet styrene. It comes in different thicknesses and your local hobby shop should have it. The best glue is the liquid type(I don't mean super glue) , one good type is made by Plastruct.

Plastruct sells direct to the public via it's website. Evergreen only can be obtained in the hobby shop. I do buy plastruct in the hobby shop if I need something quick.
