Re: 0.6mm plywood

If you think 1/32" would be close enough (maybe sand it down a little), if I did my conversion right 0.6mm=0.0263in. 1/32"=0.03125"
https://sigmfg.com/collections/plywood/products/sigpw001-plywood-1-32-x-6-x-12-3-ply
I have seen 1/32" and 1/64" aircraft ply in some hobby shops that carry stuff for R/C planes.

I should have pointed out that I have already done some Google searching and found the link Jon posted which did not have good solutions for the problem other than ordering hundreds of dollars of stuff from Europe - not my ideal solution. I'm really hoping somebody knows a laser cutting company or is involved with one that could help with finding the plywood in small amounts. Thanks. Eric Mumper

You might check with Mt. Albert Scale Lumber, Northeastern Scale

Lumber, or Midwest. They have to get their wood from somewhere, perhaps you can cut a deal with them.

I have been trying to model the UP freight cars going back to the 1890s but google always fails me.Tom, I have no drawings before 1905, and I have little interest before 1940. So I am of no help.

0.6mm plywood
Eric Mumper
Group,
I would like to find some 0.6mm plywood (roughly 2" HO scale) to have some wood running boards cut. I know this stuff is used in the hobby as I have some flatcar decks of this thickness. This is mostly a European size. I need small sheets as the running boards are 5" long. Please let me know if you are aware of somebody either selling this or an ability to purchase it as sheets from a laser cutting company. Thanks. Eric Mumper

You guys need to enlarge the image and actually read what the side of the car has stenciled on it. Then the whole donut vs police protecting their staple subsistence makes more sense.

You can't unload doughnuts frpm an Airslide. The hole in the middle prevents the airflow from doing any good. Now maybe unglazed jelly doughnuts...... Scott Chatfield
