Although both the Lionel 812 and Lionel 1722 are clean now, there was lots of rust on them and much of the surface is bare iron in stead of tinplate. Therefore, these cars were prime-painted with a special Hammerite rust preventing paint. The colour is not very appealing, but it is only an undercoat.
The 1722 caboose has some dents that need to be filled with plaster. Furthermore, I am still busy with the top roof. The top-roof will obviously receive a normal primer (for non-ferro metals) when I am finished with it.
The 812 gondola has several rough spots where rust has eaten holes in the side panels, that still need to be filled with plaster. So, there is still much to do.
