Material identification

A while back I purchased one of Micro-Trains' stock cars, a GN car that included a cattle pen. The pen appears to be some sort of engineered wood and is about 1/32" thick. It looks to be laser cut and is a very clean cut. What material is this and where can I find a sample to try in a laser cutter?

Thanks,

Sam

It is probably Laserboard. A resin impregnated paper material.

This is just the first link that came up. Many other places to get it:

Chris,

Thanks for the pointer. I'll get some heading my way and test it next week.
