diamond tread plate

Does any outfit make a diamond tread plate in sheets for N scale ? Like a Plastruct or Evergreen, even though i don't think the two i listed make it that small.   I'm building a couple of Reading T1s and their air pump deck was covered with diamond plate over the top and just a small area on the front.
Thank you,
Keith

Whatever you find will be out of scale. Correctly scaled diamond plate in N scale would be so fine that it would be almost invisible to the naked eye.

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

Big fan of the BLMA stuff, personally, if you can find it.
And since it's brass, it is very thin and the detail is crisper than you can get in styrene.

"...almost..." being the operative word.  :ashat:

Cheerio!
