Believe it or not, the model power coaches come with crude interiors. I had to combine parts from both interiors in order to make one long enough for my lengthened car. I also re-cemented the sheet steel weight to the coach floor, and quickly realized the car was too light. So, I cemented 1/2 oz of lead at each end of the car. In one end of the car, I glued some styrene to serve as a lavatory wall because I felt this detail may be visible through a window. I am not too interested in interior detailing - just enough to indicate the car is not hollow.
I also painted the roof silver, installed 36" wheels, and began adding grab irons and railings to the car end.

Kevin:
just for fun, on the British forums that sort of modification is called a "cut and shut". Kind of a modest term for what must be some precise model work.

I have painted the underframe black, and now need to let the paint dry for a day or two before I mask and paint the letter boards black. I also need to make and install end railings and diaphragms.

I know where I've seen that paint scheme before! I just noticed it on my local PBS station the other night, watching a steam tourist railroad special. It's the 1880 train, or the Black Hills Central! Silver Roof, faded red/maroon sides, and black trucks/underframe.

I added some homemade decal lettering and glued on my diaphragms. Next is to finish painting the end rails, light weathering, and interior details.
