I have n scale models wher they have just a “cigar band” around them. I have one I am going to paint from scratch so I am just trying to figure out that lay out

Thanks!

MoPac painted freight engines in a different variation like you N scale FA’s. There was a small band low on the side of the unit that wrapped around the number boards. The passenger E and PA units has a much wider band that ended before the front of the engine. This matched the band throught window area of the passenger cars.

Same colors, but used the freight scheme, similar to the F7’s shown above.

Here’s a black and white shot. Googled images “MP FA” and was on first page:
