Are you asking about the Newstand, Waiting Station, and refreshment stand units.  Without having to look it up, I think they are the A/F 271 set.  The bases were made out of Masonite.  Masonite is the stuff that Peg Boards were made out of.  I know Home Depot sells the stuff, and if they do, most likely Lowes does too.  You may also find it at a good hardware store.

Have you measured the actual thickness?  Hardboard (Masonite is the brand name) is available in 1/8" and 1/4" thicknesses and it also comes in a temperd version that is very dense and hard.  You might have to check with Menard's if you're near one or at a local lumber yard.  If you need the thicker size Menard's has 1/4' thick in 2'x4' sheets for about $5.  Here's a link:  http://www.menards.com/main/bu...=1211521147064542273.  They also carry small sheets of the 1/8" size.

Another alternative is medium density fiberboard MDF which is available in thicker sizes, but you might have to buy a 4'x8' sheet.

Good Luck,

Mike A.

I just checked eBay and there are three complete units at pretty stiff prices.  I did question one seller on thickness of the base, and the base plate, with grooved planking is 1/4" thick Masonite, and the other panels are standard 1/8" thickness.  That station is #163 Station.  If you want to duplicate the pseudo planking, I would use a Dremel router attachment to do it right.  Good luck, and have fun.
