Wayne thanks for the input, what I'm looking for is the 3 ft. rule, though if it were just one car what you suggested would make it a show place car but doing 4 might bog down the progress (been there done that with 12 athearn pass cars that still set in to do box) also if one went that deep it would require building the proper trucks , so I will stick with shaving off grabs and ladder rungs , buy will implement your idea of stripping off factory paint to make details stand out then given a thin coat of silver as by my era most were assigned to the bureau of mines (silver with black lettering) tichy has the decals.
you could run a helium car in your era GATX built 10 of them in the 1930's . don't know if the Canadian navy had any though, the rub being that they only had 28 tanks , meaning it would require a total scratch build .
