I have been searching the internet for a source for white sheet styrene with embossed O scale bricks for scratch building. I have tried Evergreen Scale Models and Pastruct to no avail. I have done Google searches on architectural model supplies and struck out.

Can any of you help me? You all have never failed me in the past.

You are correct Plastruct only sells brick sheets in red. I don't think Evergreen sells any. Only other alternative I can think of is ITLA laser cut wood brick walls - https://itlascalemodels.com/co...ar-brick-wall-panels however these are obviously tan. There may be some one out there like New England Brownstone Co that could make white brick but these would be hydro-cal walls.

Dumb question - have you considered painting the Plastruct brick sheets white? When I assemble structures they are usually a mix of white styrene, gray abs and black styrene. I spray paint the structure with a flat white primer which evens out all the color for the second coat of the color of my choice.

Have you looked on eBay ?     I just did an eBay search  "plastic sheet brick pattern"   and another for    "brick sheet"  make sure you search within "O Scale" not at large.  Also note some are textured paper and mortar lines don't match the texture. It looks OK for background structures but not for close up examination.              j

Check with Rail Scale Models

I have used the N Scale Architect sheets. They are quite thin (.020" thick?) , so you should plan on laminating them to a sub-structure. Also, I would plan on painting your final product, even if the final color is white. There is a decent bit of detail in the embossing, its not just plain flat blocks. The sheets are quite large (I'd say about twice the width of a plastruct sheet), which makes it much easier to build in O without needing to hide a seam.
