Thanks! 
For the foundation, I first painted all the pieces a brick color (Oxide Red w/ Black mixture.) Then I painted random bricks a few other colors, which isn't easy in N scale, lemme tell ya!
After the paint dried, I smashed and smeared some spackle over the whole thing, working it into the cracks between the bricks. Then I just scraped off the excess with a toothpick while it was still wet. After that, I used the old fashioned spit and rub method to smooth it out.
