Reply to "John Rowlen's Detailed Passenger Cars with Preiser 65602 Unpainted Seated People - A growing Collection"

Amtrak III Baggage Car continued.

Here is the car without the body shell installed.  The pictures show most of the details gathered near the opening doors.

I included a picture of the interior as it came from the factory.  Another shows the addition of the floor painting using four colors: sand/buff, yellow for accents, light brown and brown.  I used a 1/4" flat brush to draw the paint across the floor from one side to the other in as straight a line as I could.

I have noticed at the Introduction to the television show, "In the Heat of the Night", that one baggage car door was open on the moving Amtrak train.  Could have been from the humid heat of the night.

Have a good evening.
