Printed brick sheet! Well, after a quick search I have found two S scale sources, with a possible third, and a plethora of OO scale, and unscaled sources. The two S scale sources are these:
http://www.clevermodels.net/ or more specifically: http://clevermodels.squarespace.com/textures/ and is relatively inexpensive at $1.25 per download. You print your own, as much as you want. Secondly: http://www.miniature-planet.com/ or more specifically: http://www.miniature-planet.com/11-textures-sheets and are somewhat more expensive at up to $6.55 per download, however having an extensive library almost all of which are available in S scale. They have done all the photoshop work for you, and don't work for free. Comparing, the Plastruct brick sheets I bought a few years ago were $9.25 for two sheets @~ 7" x 12". Here's one who has products currently in OO scale and is considering entering the S scale market: http://www.phillipsmodels.co.nz/home/browse/39-176-h000-scale-textures.html?sef=hc I'm sure if you contacted him about providing his texture sheets in S, he would listen. These are not downloads, but actual sheets on contact "paper" that get sent through the mail. OO scale is about 85% of S scale, and may not even need rescaling for some textures. I hope this helps.
