Even if they are made of wood ?.......last I knew asbestos wasn't made of wood!
I'm looking for something to make a engine shed out of that is not brick or flat wood Style.
.......last I knew asbestos wasn't made of wood!Last I knew, Evergreen styrene sheet wasn't made of Zincalum or corrugated iron

Yes Mr Cars, I concur........last I knew asbestos wasn't made of wood!Last I knew, Evergreen styrene sheet wasn't made of Zincalum or corrugated iron

Seriously, the pitch of evergreen styrene sheet is a bit coarse for CI, but too fine for corrugated fibro, which I suspect is what the OP is looking for.
http://inspectapedia.com/roof/Asbestos_Cement_Corrugated_Roof.phpI have purchased wide corrugated styrene sheets at MRRC Blacktown, sure it was Slaters as well. Slaters make the sheets in various scales and IIRC I used O scale to replicate the old industrial type of Asbestos corrugated sheets.

Just to make my topic clearer,
And thanks for all the hints lots of great choices
How about using sheet cardboard you buy at the newsagents in various colours, then you would need to find something to 'run it through' to form the corrugations.You can get corrugated cardboard that is smooth on one side and corrugated on the other. I got some years back from Cheap as Chips I think it was and it was listed as corrugated card used for craft work. It is a lot finer than normally available corrugated cardboard and it came in various colours as well. It passes for corrugated cement roofing sheets though. I still have a little bit left of it here actually but it is larger than the BGB sheets of corrugated iron. The down side though is I have not seen it in years but a internet search should turn up something that can be used though!
There was a tool one time that was used on starched strips of cloth to form corrugations, basically it was just 2 gear wheels with a gap between them to achieve the effect.
Depending how keen you are on authenticity and mechanical skills, 2 wooden rollers about 300 mm long X 50mm in diameter, grooved and mounted like an old time ringer on a washing machine..........

Thanks all , I found some corrugated cardboard this Arvo at the local cheap shop , $250 for a big sheet , and also got some jtt corrugated siding .I hope was a "REALLY BIG SHEET?"
Big win
Was going to make a balsa wood frame and panels and I got a peco windows and door kit .
I lashed out and bought one of these - a bit over $5, including post. The principle is just fine, but the supplied rollers yield an 0 scale corrugation with a pitch of 3.5mm.How about using sheet cardboard you buy at the newsagents in various colours, then you would need to find something to 'run it through' to form the corrugations.Like this? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/162344189685?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

How about using sheet cardboard you buy at the newsagents in various colours, then you would need to find something to 'run it through' to form the corrugations.You can buy corrugated cardboard with corrugations already in it and on the back it has a flat surface so that you can glue it on. It is usually available from craft stores and the lot I got had fine corrugations on it that would pass for corrugated sheet fibro cement. The card even has what looks like joints (Overlapping sheets) in it it they might not be at the right distance apart for HO scale but they are there though. The card I have has about 6 corrugations every 10mm approx! I got mine from Cheap as Chips a long while ago but a check on the internet might turn something similar. Check out any place that sells art and craft supplies including Reject Shop and such like shops!
