As mentioned in the previous post, I spent the majority of my Saturday afternoon painting stripes onto the side of the 205. The stripes, like the lettering applied last year, look black but they're actually dark green, the same color as the car's roof and the bottom half of the anticlimber. There's one stripe at the belt rail and one at floor level, only between the doors and not around the end of the car.As with the lettering, the stripes will be outlined in silver. Nick gave me the contact information for the man who in 2010 did the lettering on the CA&E cars acquired from Trolleyville so hopefully he will be able to help us out with the 205 as well.Other than the silver outlines, exterior work on the 205 is virtually complete. I still need to find canvas-backed rubber, or some similar material, to affix to the door edges, and the northwest corner end window still needs to be stripped of paint. But the end is in sight.
