Is This Evergreen "Sidewalk" Sheet Suitable for N Scale?

I'm trying to find some good N Scale sidewalk, and I found this:

Is 3/16" squares right, or do I need another size?

Thanks for any help.


Hmm... orangutans in
the wild walk through
mud and slush...


Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

I used the 3/8" one. Sidewalks vary, but I think around 4 or 5' N scale squares look good.

I think you're right. I'll go with the 3/8" sidewalk.


Hmm... I have no comment
for a change...

It definitely depends on location and era.  Pasco had some old sidewalks with roughly 30 inch squares, two-across, for a 5 foot walk.  They also had some much newer ones, in the 1970s, well over five feet across, with single squares.  Ashland, KY, has some walks, of various ages, only about 30 inches wide, so a single strip of 3/16 would work for them.

I checked some sidewalks in our little town... some are 30" or thereabouts, while others are 4-1/4 feet wide. I'll go with the 3/8" sidewalk sheets.

Thanks for all comments.


Hmm... still can't think
of anything to say about
sidewalks...
