I'm looking to obtain some n scale lumber - specifically 12 x 12's -
for baulks for flat car-loaded vehicles. (And I'm too lazy to spend
the next month or two sanding.)

Does anyone have a link where such scale lumber may be purchased?

Thanks,

Andy

A fairly common trick on lumber loads is to only use the scale lumber on
the sides and end, and fill the middle with some other material. This
reduces the amount of scale lumber you'd need.

You can only do so much with caulk, cardboard, and duct tape.
