The interior photo you showed I believe is from a Comet V, judging by the larger windows and red seats. Now it’s your train and you can do whatever you like, however I think the Atlas cars are Comet 2s, which NJT refurbished a few years ago and they now have green seats I believe. Just commenting - feel free to paint yours however you like and you have inspired me to do mine now!
M.J., those are just two photos that I have on file and am not beholden to them. Yes, the Atlas O's are Comet II's (I just looked on the blue box to confirm). I like to overkill on certain things and will probably have a dozen photos for reference when all is said and done that will be on display around my painting stand as I'm doing it (did the same thing when I recently built a model of the US Navy ship my Father-in-law served on during the Vietnam War). I'm already amassing photos of the Tri-Rail trains interiors that I commute in every day.
