Anyway, after all this pondering and researching (much of it by you folks and I think you), I still think metal is the way to go. It won't have a wood grain, but then, at this scale, I doubt the wood grain should really be visible anyway, especially after it is painted.
I have the same opinion about way-out-of-scale treadplate detail on plastic N scale Diesel loco walkways
There must be an etched piece of brass that has wood grain etched into it out there.....Right? If you can find such a piece I think that would be perfect
Brass models have etched wood grain.
Max:Take a look at the on-line PSC catalogue for "general use-sundries" on page 13.They have quite a variety of wood-grain etched brass sheet.It's all a bit thicker than you want, but very nice...
