Have been re-applying the original 1887 finery to one end of 57 or 45 as it would have been when new. Had great success with vinyl masks and One Shot signwriters Gold enamel. All the decoration is based on evidence we have found on the car and a 1890 Pullman builders photograph and photographs of other cars delivered at the same time to the DT&FW.
