I'll have to paint them all different. Unlike most trolley modelers I know I like my cars to look like they are in-service so I'll start with Poly-scale Catwisker Yellow (a close match to the old Floqil cream) and signal red. To this I'll over-spray grime, add some redder patches on some cars and maybe a whole front-end repaint on one, then more grime and lotsa rust around the edges. Thanks.

Later, I tried one using SP red. I resisted using straight white, even though the famous postcard indicated it might work. I like the effect I get with cream and signal red under flourescent.
