I know of Battlefield Terrain Concepts, but are there any other US retailers that sell 12/10mm suitable terrain?

I'm really looking for buildings, farms, telephone poles, train tracks, and the typical rural/city scatter terrain

tbh I'd use 6mm terrain with 10mm figures/vehicles unless you are planning on doing 1:1 skirmish type things.

I use 6mm terrain with my 15mm stuff, and some of the buildings are still stupidly big.

I have extremely mixed feelings about 6mm buildings with 10mm figures, and 12mm figures put my ambivalence into bas relief. Most of the 6mm buildings I have just look much too small.

OTOH, 10mm scale buildings quickly verge into "too big", so I tend to prefer buildings in slightly-small vertical scale and much-smaller footprint. To my knowledge the only buildings explicitly advertised this way are by Total Battle Miniatures, though I own plenty of old plaster and resin buildings that seem to be made this way.

As Schogun pointed out, you should be able to get lots of stuff by shopping the N scale model railroading market.
