Arcus: Yes, scale rulers are available in many places. The catch is, which scale are you modeling? Remember within Large Scale (commonly and not so correctly called “G Scale”) the are about a half dozen different scales. Somewhere on this forum (I’m guessing about a year ago) someone posted a “PDF” with several different scale rulers.) Several vendors on the net have downloadable scale rulers. The only place that I have seen a plastic ruler has been at selling train shows. I’ve heard that Ozark Minitures has them, but I’ve not found them there.
Greg has it! Scalecard offers rulers in all the many g scales. short metal ones to wallet plastic to long plastic ones. I carry one in my wallet so when i see a figure in a store I can tell if it will fit.

I did that also, then laminated them to a piece of plastic with some clear packing tape.
www.railscale.com has 6 to 24" aluminum scales in most all desired RR scale, get the combination of two scales on one ruler.
