I'm not sure that this belong here but we talk about so many esoteric  
things here ...

We could make a hollow plexiglas body and fill it with colored water  
and change it every so often?

Actually, you know the builders photographs of steam locomotives were  
made with gray water color paints sprayed on over the shiny black  
paint.   The black reflected too little light and all the detail was  
lost.   So they were painted gray, and dutifully lettered and  
numbered, then photographed, then washed down and shipped to their  
new owner.

So you could paint your Speedrail car in Indianapolis and  
Southeastern paint ... run it on a sunny day ... and then wash it off.

Shame Derrick's system won't allow me to include a big smily face.

Problem is too many railfan museums simply don't think outside the  
box....    Some of these ideas are really off the wall but you never  
know what will trigger the public into remembering something you  
really want them to remember.
