Well, Paul, it's like this.
You can do it with the complicated number Bill Wade gave you, that you'll never remember, or you can do it with the simple number, the one that is based on the scale you're working in. 1/64. To convert the actual size of materials to a scale dimension, simply multiply the size times 64. For example .040" times 64 = a scale 2.56 inches. And to find the scale dimension needed for a prototype dimension, simply divide by 64. For example, 6' siding in S scale is 6 / 64 = .09375". You would then use the closest material to that size, say .100" siding. This works for any scale. Oh, and that fancy number Bill gave you, is found by dividing 1 by 64.
