My paint scheme is a cross between the Lehigh and New England and the Durham and Southern. I painted my RS-3s first and the LNE scheme worked well on those, but when I started to paint the F-7s and GP-7s I thought the narrow side stripe should be wider so thats why the EMDs look more like the D&S. Not shown, the nose stripe on the F-7 is painted like the nose on Clinchfield F units. The brick sheet from Holgate and Reynolds is carried by Walthers. I think the number is 340-1411. It is made of Vinylite plastic. It is thin and easy to cut but the bricks have a rounded look because they are embossed. It works well if you build a shell of wood, or cardboard, or in my case styrene and glue the bricksheet on top of the shell and trim off the edges. The other draw back, besides the rounded edge bricks is that liquid styrene cement or ACC does not stick to it. I have had good luck using contact cement to glue it to my walls. I will use the Walthers brick sheets next time. They are cast in styrene and they have a sharper brick pattern. Also they have the correct brick pattern that has every 6th row (I think it is 6th) the bricks are turned end out, which matches the pattern Walthers uses on their buildings.
