While the topic of stock cars has been approached...Don, have you found
a safe way to remove the roof of your stock cars?
I'll agree with Bill and state that the wooden cars wouldn't have had
the slats painted. Metal cars might be another question, but I'd bet
they still used lead paint into the 60's on the last of the stock cars.
I would love to get the roofs off and then weather the inside a bit,
add straw bedding and non-smelling additions to that straw! I think one
could make some very nice 'cow pies' with a hot glue gun or even some
blobs of older thickened paint.

work for railroads. The question is about the inside of a stock car.
Were the boards painted on the inside or just the outside when these
wooden cars were built? Any help would be appreciated...
