It's sheets of styrene plastic you can find at train hobby shops. It
comes in all kinds of thicknesses, and rods of square cross-section or
tubes. They also have some sheets with different kinds of textures,
like
corrugated sheet metal, or brick, and train scale ladders and stairs,
but
usually all of these are more expensive. You use the solvent to melt
the
pieces together.
