then added the interior details. What I did for now was use
painter’s tape to cover up as much as I could. I applied a few
drops of CA on the sticky side of the tape to help hold it down
(hopefully for years to come). I then hand-painted the tape and
all the wires. Once everything was camouflaged, it looked bet-
ter. [26] shows the interior after the wiring was camouflaged.
Now I was able to add additional interior details I had noticed
in the real-life pictures, like numbers by the doors and in the
cupola, phones/radios, and miscellaneous paperwork. I used a
fine-tip pen to add the railroad and car number. I did this above
each door, as well as in the cupola area [27]. I could have used
decals, but I didn’t have any black letters/numbers on hand.

wires are camouflaged.
