Thanks to Keith Turley for this correction about the paint information.
Ken at Trakworks has found an error in his paint diagram for the chair cars:
Please note: The instructions on the color diagram and in the written instructions describe using “Poly S GREAT Northern Green” to mix for painting the seats. This is incorrect and should be Poly S Burlington Northern Green # F4 14209.
Passing it on…

The second kit in the interior kit line for the Walthers Hi Level El Cap cars arrived today. I have three kits and each will do two cars so there is a lot of work to be done during the winter.

These are the pictures of the installed Lounge car detail and Alclad window tinting.
Thanks, I was going to buy the paint today. Just curious if anyone knows the colors for the first level. I assume the baggage area was stainless steel, but how about the restrooms? I think there’s only the vestibule and windowshades in the kit.[:^)]
CAZEPHYR, thanks for confirming that I wasn’t crazy about the kit.
Now that I have the motivation to do 4 cars, I’ve started to “Pop” them apart.
The Trak Works You-Tube on taking the cars apart is an excellent reference. What I found out was that it’s easier to remove the sides after the ends then you can squeeze the inside frame and the roof just lifts off. I was more concerned about losing roof tabs so the cars close all the way when I’m done.
