I made this gondola for a customer in the UK. All Nickel Plate Maintenance of Way cars were painted gray, but since this car would have dual usage, I left it black. The interior of the car is real rust, done with an antiquing solution that when thinned really makes convincing scale rust. A rack was made from styrene forms to hold a turnout and piece of track for MoW work. It slips right out. Normally all my cars have cut levers, but this customer didn't request them.
