Just to add to my earlier posting, in the "for what it's worth department", the Boonton Car was was assigned number "1" when shipped to LAL in 1964 and was later assigned number 2501 when it was repainted about 1968. As hard as we tried, we could never locate evidence of the original DL&W number.
Cars were originally painted yellow... 2501 arrived this way from its' prior owner in Canada.... along with a green roof. 2508 and 2619 were repainted from Erie green to yellow in 1965. Paint was "Shell Yellow" donated by Wemett Oil Company of Hemlock which was a Shell distributor. This paint however did not weather well and faded rapidly. Lettering was dark green utilizing individual press on decals.
Eventually about 1968-69 the cars (2501, 2619, 2508, 2511) were repainted using "Caterpillar Yellow" which wore well with minimum of fading over time. This is also the time when a brown window and sill stripe was added. (Moores' "Tudor Brown"). Lettering became brown by just repainting over the decals and the original car numbers were restored utilizing the outline of the former Erie numbers.
By 1973 we eventually attacked the interiors of regular consist cars 2501, 2508 and 2619. In addition to receiving a snack bar, 2501 received some overdue ceiling replacement and was then repainted from a gaudy green and cream into something more representative of the maroon and cream interiors of similar Boonton cars and MUs' we had observed at Hornell..
The Stillwells were repainted to match the original Erie interior scheme with Moores' "Royal Blue" applied from floor to window sill. Moores' "Teal Green" from above window sill to top of side wall and a light robin egg blue (sorry, forgot the actual name of this one) for the ceiling. Interior ends of cars were solid "Teal Green". In a departure from Erie practice, one car received black paint for ceiling light fixtures, baggage racks and fans.
The interiors of the vestibules on both ends of cars were painted Tudor Brown and car numbers were repainted on the doors both in (black) and out ("Cat yellow"). Interior floors of the Stillwells were concrete and received a liberal dose of Moores Porch and Floor "Platinum Gray". The end platforms and steps received Moores' black "Iron-clad" rust inhibitive paint. Handrails all received contrasting paint of black or yellow.
All in all a classy little train in the last years..
