I added decals, and things went well. After the decals were set, I took an x-acto blade and sliced the decals between the siding boards, and applied more decal setting solution. You can't even tell they are decals! There were two decals that didn't fit. They are two small messages that tell passengers to stay off the platforms. I assume this message was added by the Rio Grande when these cabooses were used at the end of the Silverton mixed train, after tourism picked up after WWII. The photos I have found usually place this message on the end doors, and the decal was too long to fit on the door, so I left it off. Next up is to clean up and paint the end railings (they are brass castings), install window glass, and the roof sections.
