Steve,
From my thread - let's cut to the chase:
"One of the alternatives to yardsticks (which have those imprinted black markings) is wooden strips I've used for foamcore building internal support. You can get these at Lowe's or Home Depot. Typical measurements are 1.5" x 36" x 0.25" and they are either aspen or poplar.
When you place these next to your 1/8" masonite street, the 0.25" thickness gives you a 1/8" or 6 scale inch curb. These are more expensive than using yardsticks, but much less expensive than the commercial products."
Good luck in your pursuit and let's know what you ended up doing.
George
