Have you considered using dyed grout? pored to the thickness you want, dry it, 
then break it up and glue it onto your siding. Great way to make realistic 
stonework. Plus your able to match the pattern exactly with the building shown. 
I haven't seen any stone facades that match it in any of the magazine adds I've 
seen lately, so hope this idea helps ya out :)

Subject: {S-Scale List} Finding a ‘S’tone façade 
 

  
I'm in the process of ordering a custom kit from Wiseman Models, which consists 
of pieces from their Gunnison Depot, in order to build a model of Galt Depot, 
which is really located in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada.

I'm going to place this station on the module I'm currently constructing which 
includes a transition between my club's two track mainline in the `Lower 48', 
and the ARR's Valdez Terminal, located in Alaska.  While Canada is being 
compressed into all of 40 inches, I still thought it appropriate to include a 
stop within this country and Galt Station seemed like a good one, even if it is 
not named after Ayn Rand's fictional railroad builder, John Galt.

While the existing walls of the modified Gunnison Depot should be fine for the 
brick upper half of the station's walls, I'm going to need a reasonably thin 
stone façade to replicate the (flag?) stone lower half.

You can see pictures of this station in the link I posted and I was wondering 
if any of you knew where I could find a stone façade for this purpose.

Thank you in advance.
